Dear students,

As we approach finals, colder weather, and a notoriously busy time of year, take stock of your health and wellness tools, especially those you can use when you are away from campus.

  • Access teletherapy sessions anywhere in the United States and many other countries, with same-day and after-hours appointments. 
  • For urgent mental health help, call or text 988 any time, day or night.
  • Browse the Well-being Toolkit for personal reflection tools. 
  • As cliché as it sounds, go outside. Even brief moments of fresh air and sunshine can immediately improve your well-being. Check out the Nature Rx app to explore places on campus.
  • CAPS still has two more drop-in sessions on election stress for anyone interested in a quiet space for reflection. And OSCR is hosting an event specifically for international students tomorrow, November 15 (registration is required).

I hope you all have a restful Thanksgiving break and come back ready for a strong finish to the semester.

Stay healthy, Wolverines,

Robert D. Ernst, M.D.
Chief Health Officer
Associate Vice President for Health and Wellness in Student Life
