Student Health and Wellness (SHaW)
If you are looking for spaces to breathe, to maintain your wellness, and to connect with fellow students, please join us for the following online programs and services:

• Tools for Easing COVID-19 Related Anxiety

• • This is a 3-part video series that draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). It covers topics including components of anxiety, how the current pandemic might impact anxiety levels, and specific skills to help ease anxiety. Part 1 is an introduction to anxiety and CBT. Part 2 moves into cognitive skills that help decrease anxiety. Lastly, Part 3 incorporates behavioral skills to ease anxiety and improve wellbeing. These skills can be helpful in navigating the challenges and uncertainty associated with COVID-19.

• Feel Good Fridays
  • Since UConn has moved to online learning for the remainder of the Spring 2020 semester, UConn Student Health and Wellness wants to provide a space for students to gather and connect although we are not on campus together. One of the ways we thought we could come together was with a Friday chat we are calling Feel Good Fridays. Each Friday for the rest of the semester, we will post a prompt for our community to gather and discuss. This is a place for you to share what is going on for you, seek support, and to provide support for your fellow Huskies. This group is for UConn students, staff, faculty, and alumni.
