Well-Being by Design Design Your Well-Being. Your Way.

Students meet with a certified health and wellness coach to reflect on their current habits, identify areas of growth, and co-create a personalized "blueprint" to guide their goals in areas such as stress, sleep, nutrition, movement, self-care, connection, and time management.

For students interested in reducing or quitting nicotine use, this service offers confidential, non-judgmental support, tools, and resources to build a realistic plan and manage cravings and triggers. 

These programs offer a supportive, non-judgmental space to reflect on alcohol or cannabis use. Using a harm-reduction approach, they reduce risky behaviors and negative consequences while supporting student well-being. Students will work with a facilitator to create a plan that aligns with their goals.

Sessions are a student-centered, strengths-based service focused on improving wellness habits and promoting personal growth. Students work with trained staff to:

• Explore the 8 Dimensions of Wellness
