Pathways to Wellness
There are multiple dimensions of wellness, multiple pathways to wellness, and multiple ways our wellness is impacted by—and contributes to—the wellness of our larger community.
At Western, we believe students who are actively encouraged and supported in their efforts to be well are better able to achieve their personal and academic goals.
Our goal in the Counseling and Wellness Center is to help you discover, learn, and cultivate positive, inclusive, empowering, and sustainable wellness practices at Western and beyond.
1. Review Your Self-Care Strategies
Self-care means taking care of yourself in ways that feel best to you, focusing on your own health and well-being, and finding comfort. Review your own self-care practices by answering the following questions:
Are you:
- Eating regularly?
- Getting enough sleep?
- Engaging in physical activity/movement?
- Spending time doing things you enjoy?
- Connecting with your community and support system?
- Practicing a routine/time management?
- Engaging in mindfulness/being present?
If you answered "I don't know" or "No" to any of the questions above, read on to learn more about the multiple pathways to wellness available to you through the Counseling and Wellness Center and our campus partners.
