Academic wellness is the ability to achieve a balance between your school work, non-academic responsibilities, and personal leisure in a way that promotes health and a sense of personal satisfaction. This includes satisfaction in your program, how you're performing in classes, your relationships with your instructors, and progress toward graduation.  Below are just a couple of ways to promote academic wellness.

Emotional wellness inspires self-care, relaxation, stress reduction and the development of inner strength. It is important to be attentive to both positive and negative feelings and be able to understand how to handle these emotions.
