[Important Information for Students] Staying Mentally and Physcially Well

[Kathleen Camelo]

Dear Students,


As we approach the end of the semester, your Student Health & Counseling
Center wants to share some thoughts on how to be mentally and physically
well during this busy time.

⇨Sleep is important!  A rested brain and body means top mental performance
and health.  Don’t pull all nighters!!


⇨Move your body!  Keep your exercise routine a priority.  Even a 20 minute
walk or some stretching can go a long way!!


⇨Take some time to breathe and center yourself.  We have some quick and
easy mindfulness exercise links included *below!*


⇨Take study breaks.  It’s important to get your work done but you also need
to schedule pleasurable activities and social time as well.  T*here will be
therapy dogs in the ACC lobby every Thursday at 5pm now through finals
week!! *


⇨Know your resources on campus!  Run out of meal swipes?  Accessibility
Services has a food shelf on campus for students.  Need academic
assistance?  Check out services in the Learning Center or ask professors
about possible accommodations.  Don’t put this off!  Really struggling
mentally?  See a crisis counselor in the Counseling Center.  Your CA’s are
also amazing resources!!


⇨ Don’t over caffeinate and avoid abusing drugs and alcohol.



⇨Ask for help if you need it!
