Student Wellness
In the Office of Student Wellness, we know that wellness is not one-size-fits-all; we are here to support wellness your way!
We know that we are all complex individuals with dynamic needs, so too is our well-being. Therefore, we embrace8 holistic dimensions of wellness, which includes:emotional,physical,occupational,intellectual,financial,social,environmental, andspiritualwellness.
Throughout our mission, programming, policies, and resources you will find this framework informing the work that we do. We see well-being as shaped by many intersectional identities and factors that change throughout one's life. Because of this dynamic nature, our office is committed not to simply educating around a narrow concept of wellness, but around self-reflection so that our students are empowered to make the best decisions for themselves at any given time in their life while at Wellesley, and beyond!
