Supporting Our Individual and Collective Wellbeing: NYU Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Your mental\u00a0health\u00a0matters. When you are\u00a0healthy\u00a0and well, you can focus on your academic and professional goals.\u00a0Students\u00a0can find 24\/7 mental\u00a0health\u00a0support through the\u00a0Wellness Exchange<\/a>\u00a0and can learn\u00a0stress management tips<\/a>\u00a0and find opportunities for\u00a0mindfulness and reflection<\/a>. Faculty and staff can find support through the\u00a0Work Life office<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Employee Assistance Program<\/a>.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Belonging has two elements, both bonding and bridging. Both are key to your wellbeing. NYU offers many opportunities to\u00a0connect with others, both with similar interests and to inspire new ones<\/a>, including over\u00a0300 clubs and organizations<\/a>. Faculty, staff, and\u00a0students\u00a0can be part of\u00a0NYU In Dialogue<\/a>\u00a0events and programming designed to bring community members together to listen and engage across differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s easy to fall into a pattern of overworking, so it\u2019s important to\u00a0know your limits<\/a>\u00a0and set boundaries. Take breaks, get enough sleep, and do things that bring you joy and relaxation.\u00a0Students\u00a0can use a\u00a0Museum Access Pass<\/a>\u00a0for free access to local museums. Community members can use\u00a0NYU ScholasTix<\/a>\u00a0for discounts on entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Movement is key to your physical and mental\u00a0health. Whether it’s a walk around campus, a\u00a0yoga session<\/a>, a\u00a0fitness class<\/a>\u00a0at the gym for\u00a0students, or getting a workout at one of the NYU Athletics Fitness centers for\u00a0students, faculty, and staff<\/a>, find time to move your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Practice kindness and patience with yourself and those around you. Small acts of kindness can have a profound impact on someone\u2019s day. Learn more about\u00a0emotional regulation<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0healthy\u00a0relationships<\/a>. And you can find out more about meditation, mindfulness, and other initiatives on campus that promote compassion and wellbeing through\u00a0MindfulNYU<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. If you are struggling academically,\u00a0connect with academic support<\/a>\u00a0or the\u00a0Student\u00a0Success office<\/a>. Faculty, staff, and administrators can find support through the\u00a0Employee Assistance Program (EAP)<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0professional development opportunities<\/a>\u00a0through\u00a0Human Resources<\/a>. Faculty seeking to help a\u00a0student\u00a0in academic or emotional distress can find guidance through the\u00a0Student\u00a0Success office<\/a>\u00a0or the\u00a0Wellness Exchange<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take steps to protect your physical\u00a0health:\u00a0eat well<\/a>, get your\u00a0flu and COVID-19 shots<\/a>, and\u00a0seek medical care<\/a>\u00a0when you are not well. If you are feeling physical pain, don\u2019t ignore it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Participating in volunteer or community events increases your sense of purpose, and enhances your wellbeing and that of others. NYU offers many volunteer opportunities for students<\/a> and administrators<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
