The Wellness Center, Room 111

Support Wellness

 

“After our family experienced a traumatic event, the Wellness Center helped our family heal. The Wellness Center provided a safe space for my child to rest her sorrows, stressors and anxiety. At a time when we were struggling to deal with the family crisis, it was incredibly comforting to know our child could find assistance and support from the Wellness Center.” –Parent of a student at 电竞竞猜

 

“I was scared of coming to the Wellness Center because I thought it meant that something was wrong with me. After the time I spent there, I came to realize that needing help was not only okay, but that it was also normal. I left with a restored sense of hope and tools I needed to keep it going. If I hadn’t gone to the Wellness Center, I don’t know where I’d be.” –电竞竞猜 Graduate

 

“The accessibility of the Wellness Center is what drew me in, but it was this in addition to many other factors that made me feel so comfortable going in once a week. The atmosphere inside was calming, and this made me feel safe enough to discover my inner issues. While I learned tactics for dealing with anxiety, I never forgot the relaxing feeling of simply talking to a person, which is what everyone needs to feel sometimes.” –电竞竞猜 Senior

 

“I’m very grateful for the time I spent at the Wellness Center. Without it, who knows if I could have gotten through senior year. Meetings with Tori gave me an outlet and a safe space that allowed to develop some of the most important tools for surviving college. I would encourage every student to at least drop in and say hi.” –电竞竞猜 Graduate
