One Size Does Not Fit All
The practice of cultivating well-being looks different for individuals depending on their unique lived experience, goals, values, and strengths. Wellness & Health Advocacy respects and values these differences. We seek to provide tools, education, guidance, and support to cultivate an inclusive environment for learning and health promotion.
Evidence-Based Programming
Wellness & Health Advocacy acknowledges the importance of health education based on sound theory and commits to sharing programs and services guided by evidence, research, and best practices. It is vital that students have non-biased, accurate, and complete health education to make informed decisions regarding their health and well-being.
Holistic Approach
Wellness & Health Advocacy positions wellness as a multi-dimensional concept with interconnections between different aspects of health. We recognize the seven dimensions of wellness as physical, financial, spiritual, emotional/mental, environmental, social/cultural, and career/academic. To “be well at UWL”, students must be given opportunities and resources to nurture their well-being in diverse ways!
