Stress Management & Self Care

Stress is a part of life. Small amounts of stress can serve as a helpful motivator for accomplishing goals. It's not uncommon, though, for stress to become overwhelming, creating unpleasant symptoms and sometimes impacting our daily lives.

Sexual Health

The Sexual Health program encourages sexual health and wellness by providing education, support, and resources for the campus community. Our goal is to empower students to make informed decisions regarding their sexual wellbeing and to encourage a responsible foundation upon which they can successfully build throughout their adult lives.

Meditation

Meditation is a practice that invites us to slow down, breathe, and cultivate a greater awareness of the ways in which our body and mind can work together. 

Whether you’ve been practicing meditation for years, feel ready to try it for the first time, or find yourself somewhere in between - there’s a place for you here. 

Light Therapy

Light therapy, or phototherapy, is the use of specific devices to treat changes in mood that are especially common during the fall and winter months. 

While typically used as a treatment for Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), or the “winter blues”, there is some evidence to suggest it might also be beneficial for people who experience low moods for other reasons. With regular use, most people who experience benefits do so within the first week or two.

How to Help a Survivor

CARE to Stop Violence understands that the journey to healing for someone you care about will probably impact you. It is very common for others to feel overwhelmed, angry, powerless, frustrated and sometimes guilty.  CARE can provide an opportunity for you to talk about your feelings in a safe and supportive environment.  We are available to speak with you via email, phone or in-person.

You can play a critical role in the healing process if someone you know has been impacted by power-based violence.
