Washburn promotes healthy living for all students

Healthy Living for College Success is an interdisciplinary program designed to connect students. There are two series and seven sessions within them.

The first session involves not letting stress get in the way of success. Psychological Services Clinic is the facilitator for this event, and the activity involves learning about various forms of relaxation techniques that help manage stress.

The second session involves the topic of relationships. Counseling Services is the facilitator for this event, and the activity includes a hands-on activity that will give students the skills needed to develop and maintain healthy relationship while at college.

The third session involves occupational exploration. Career Services is the facilitator for this event, and the activity helps clarify students’ interests and values related to career choices.

The fourth session involves homesickness. Student Activities and Greek Life is the facilitator for this event, and the activity gives students’ tools to meet new people and how to feel at home on campus.

The fifth session involves ways to avoid getting sick. Student Health Services is the facilitator for this event, and the activity promotes wellness in students.

The sixth session involves fitness. Student Recreation and Wellness Center is the facilitator, and the activity includes engaging in a workout that exercises the whole body.

The seventh session is the finale that ties all of the sessions together.
