We're Here to Help

We support campus well-being and success through holistic and inclusive programs that center wellness, safety, and healing.  We believe that wellness is the foundation of success and that equitable access to inclusive wellness services, education and support will create a more resilient, thriving University of Utah.

We provide several resources primarily for students but also offer certain programs for faculty and staff including educational workshops and our confidential Victim-Survivor Advocacy services.

Wellness Wheel: Finding a Balanced Approach

Everyone's wellness journey is unique. As we explore our own personal wellness, it's important to remember that being well looks different for everyone and that these dimensions of wellness are interconnected, active and dynamic. Recognizing areas of our wellness that are thriving and those that may need additional support can help us seek the resources we need and take positive steps to become more well.

Intellectual

This dimension of wellness encourages creative and stimulating mental activities. Our minds need to be inspired and active just as our bodies do. Being open-minded whenencountering new ideas, embracing challenges, and seeking out lifelong learning opportunities cultivate our intellectual wellness. Try learning a new language,reading, doing puzzles or build a new hobby to foster this dimension.

Learning Center

Spiritual

This dimension encourages us to develop a set of guiding beliefs, values, and principles that provide meaning and purpose to live our lives more authentically. Living in harmony with these values allows us to be more spiritually well and can be embodied in many ways including relaxation, meditation, yoga, volunteering, nature, the arts, music, prayer, religion and more.
