“This past year has been really challenging for our students, and it’s been really challenging for our faculty and staff,” says Dean of Students Christina Olstad. “This summit is a way to engage our students and to promote awareness of the many resources we have to help them.”
Registration is free and open now and throughout the event.
Reasons to attend the summit
- College is tough—self-care shouldn’t be. Join other Badgers in community to think about what self-care means to you. Some challenges, many of us share—procrastination, lack of sleep, self-doubt—while others are unique to our individual experiences. Focus on your areas of need and discover practices you can bring into your routine.
- Make a plan for self-care in your life. Changing behavior takes time, and that’s normal—but keep your goals in sight. Learn how to put ideas into practice and make them part of your daily routine with tips from March 11 keynote speaker Dr. Joy Harden Bradford.
- Get to know the places, people, and apps out there to support you. Explore mental health resources through University Health Services and the Dean of Student Office; self-care strategies through UW–Madison’s Center for Healthy Minds (and its amazing app); and play hard, get fit, and live well through Recreation & Wellbeing. You are not alone. Campus is filled with resources and services that are dedicated to support your wellbeing.
