One of my favorite resources on campus is Health Promotion, located in the HLC. They offer a very wide variety of services for both students and faculty on campus. They put on events for everyone to become more educated about health and wellness, and just have a lot of information in general about health and wellness. Health promotion services are always free, and open to everyone on campus. Some of the events they hold include information sessions about violence, sexual assault, alcohol and drug abuse, stress, and nutrition. It is especially important for university students to be aware of these topics because they can be a part of life, either yours or someone you know, and it is good information to have for when these things do happen. Wellness Wednesdays happens every month, in which they offer free HIV testing and free back rubs! There are also several clubs like CHEC, SHACK, and Stressbusters which are a part of Health Promotions that are available for those who are interested in health and wellness as either a career or just something for fun.
Life at university can be very different from life at home, and it is essential to have to knowledge for a safe and healthy four years. Here is a link to the NAU Health Promotion website if you'd like more information. http://nau.edu/Health-Services/Health-Promotions/
Sierra,
ReplyDeleteVery informative post. I've only been to the HLC to use the gym. I had no idea that they provided information sessions also, that is good to know. This resource is definitely one I would like to share with my mentees too! Thanks for the information. Stressbusters is something I'd like to look into, I'm always looking for an outlet when I get too overwhelmed over my schoolwork.
I love the HLC too and all the services it provides and new that they had information sessions and the gym and clinic but did not know about the clubs such as CHEC, SHACK and stress busters and wonder what they are about. I like that the HLC has so much going on for this one resource and provides students with many things to do at the HLC besides working out.
ReplyDeleteI have always love the HLC and the services they provide but had no idea that they provide information sessions and had a wellness Wednesdays like back rubs and all! Really great to know now and is something I definitely want to check out! Great job with providing so many examples of services they provide.

ReplyDeleteWellness Wednesdays are so much fun! I love the services offered at the HLC because they allow students to focus on themselves and their physical, mental, and emotional health. College is a very stressful time so it is nice to know that even when things are a little rough you can always go to the Health and Learning Center because they offer such a wide variety of necessary services.
