Choose well. Do well. Be well.

counselor

Counseling is 100% free, confidential, and a chance to understand and resolve underlying issues. Counseling lets you talk with a non-judgmental, objective listener who can help you see your struggles differently, and then help you develop creative solutions.

Emotional

Emotional wellness is defined as an awareness and acceptance of a wide range of feelings in yourself and others. It is the ability to understand, manage, and express your feelings in a healthy and constructive way; to understand your own limitations, and know how and when to seek support to address areas of concern. An emotionally well person has the ability to successfully handle life’s stresses, to adapt to and cope with change, and to learn and grow from difficult situations. 

Ways to Support Your Emotional Wellness:

  • Take 10 minutes each day to unplug from phones, social media and your computer
  • Regularly move your body in ways that bring you joy
  • Stay on top of schoolwork
  • Get adequate sleep
  • Cultivate an awareness of your thoughts and feelings by practicing mindfulness meditation
  • Learn relaxation and stress management techniques
  • Spend quality time with trusted friends and family
  • Regularly practice gratitude
  • Ask for help or see a counselor at Student Counseling, Health, & Wellness
