Online Wellness Resources
Explore Free Online Self-Care Opportunities
Wellness takes many forms and can be worked on anywhere at any time. While Student Wellness would be happy to work with you one-on-one, we understand that life can get busy and self-paced resources can sometimes be a better fit.
If you are concerned about a friend or classmate, there are also many great resources through ULifeline to assist you in navigating how to best help. If the person of concern is a part of National University and you would like a staff member to follow up with them, please complete this form.
