Mission

Our mission is two-fold: to empower students with evidence-based skills for fostering mental, physical, social, and emotional well-being, and to cultivate a campus culture that promotes wellness as a fundamental, accessible human right. We all deserve to be, feel, and do well at Yale.

We cultivate wellness by:

  • Prioritizing students’ physical and mental health in all its operations
  • Offering a space for wellness-related student meet-ups, student-run wellness study breaks, and peer-to-peer support
  • Putting into practice scientific insights about happiness
  • Providing free well-being programming, including physical and mental health education
  • Teaching and coaching healthy habits, coping mechanisms, resilience training, and mindfulness-based stress reduction
  • Working with a student advisory board to support the evolution of our spaces and programming
