Mental Health & Wellness

The University strives to raise awareness and improve conditions for students experiencing mental health concerns. Many students need help with problems related to stress, anger, depression, anxiety, and other issues. You're not alone, and there are campus resources for you if you need them, including your dedicated building team.

Mental Health Resources

Your community advisor, residence director, and other staff are an email, phone call, Google hangout, or Zoom meeting away. Also, the Twin Cities campus offers a number of services to assist students facing these challenges.

Leading a balanced lifestyle can help you succeed in a number of ways. Health is certainly affected by the environment and genetics, but stress management, sleep schedules, and daily activity all make a huge impact on our overall wellbeing.

There are resources on campus to help:

• University students can access Boynton Health services ranging from dental cleanings and flu shots to eye exams, food pantry, safer sex supplies, and alcohol/substance use services—you can even relax with a certified therapy chicken. 
• University Recreation and Wellness offers more than fitness classes. Rent some gear and get outside, check out on-demand virtual programs, or schedule a massage therapy appointment.
