Mindfulness Walk Wildcat Check-in Week
Join UK HR Health and Wellness and UK Campus Recreation as we host a self-guided mindfulness walk across campus featuring five thoughtfully designed “moments” along the route. Each stop offers a brief, simple activity focused on breathing, reflection, connecting with nature, or creativity, along with optional resources to support mental health and overall well-being. A map will be provided.
Mindful moments include:
- Labyrinth Walk - South End of Alumni Commons
- Charge Your Battery - South Alumni Commons (near Huguelet)
- Presidential Tree Walk - Maxwell Place; North End of Alumni Commons
- Guided Breathing - Memorial Hall Amphitheatre
- Chalk the Walk - Botanical Gardens Walkway behind the Gatton Student Center
This event is part of Wildcat Check-In Week.
Wildcat Check-in Week is a campus-wide mental health and suicide prevention initiative led by Student Well-Being and coordinated by Prevention, Outreach, and Wellness Education Resources (POWER), in partnership with UK HR Health and Wellness and the UK HealthCare Healthy Kentucky Initiative.
The initiative is designed for all students and employees and aims to promote person-to-person connection, help-seeking, and a shared culture of care across the University of Kentucky community. Programming throughout the week will focus on mental health awareness, suicide prevention, mental health stigma reduction, and positive coping strategies, with alignment to the Emotional Dimension of Wellness.
