Mental Health and Wellness Services
Bellin College is committed to supporting and advancing the mental health and well-being of our students and breaking down stereotypes surrounding mental health. Mental health problems can affect many areas of students’ lives, reducing their quality of life, academic achievement, physical health, and negatively impacting relationships with friends and family members. These issues can also have long-term consequences for students, affecting their future employment, earning potential, and overall health. For these reasons, Bellin College believes in and is committed to fostering a safe learning environment for all students, including those students that may be suffering from some form of mental illness. The college is committed to supporting our students’ mental health through education, raising awareness, resources, programming, college personnel, etc.
Some things to consider:
- Get regular exercise and enough sleep.
- Evaluate your priorities
- Work on managing your time
- Schedule restful activities in your daily life
Students who feel in control of their lives report feeling much less stress than those who feel that circumstances control them.
