While this past year has been filled with challenges to us as individuals and as a community, we remain hopeful that the pandemic and recent events will continue to improve and lead to a better 2022. During this holiday season, take time to remember the importance of self-care, nutrition, exercise, sleep, healthy relationships, and stress management for your overall wellness.
I will continue communicating with you about a variety of resources and programming in the coming year. Until then, I will highlight a few of the resources available at UNC to support students, postdocs, faculty, and staff including:
- Mental Health & Wellness Program (for MD & PhD students)
- Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS, for students)
- Take the Well-Being Index (5 minutes, questions) to assess your stress and well-being.
- Well-Being Resources
This week we published a new website section for Wellness. This page will be evolving. Special thanks to Carolyn Clabo and Brad Olson for their efforts.
Sincerely,
Jill Dowen, Ph.D.
