Leading with Care: Showing up for yourself and your students

Wolverine Wellness invites you to join us for a lunch and learn interactive workshop that explores how we can help students lead with care by modeling intentional self-awareness and compassionate community care.

In fast-paced campus environments, it’s easy for both students and staff to move through the day without checking in with ourselves. For some, identifying or naming stress can feel unfamiliar or even unsafe. Yet, helping students tune in to their early warning signs can support resilience, reduce burnout, and foster a more sustainable approach to leadership and service.

Together, we will:

• Unpack the relationship between stress and the eight dimensions of wellness

• Explore how eustress and distress show up differently for students

• Identify common stressors student leaders face — and how they impact well-being

• Discuss evidence-based, short-term stress reduction techniques

• Share campus resources and strategies that promote sustained mental health support

• Discuss how you can encourage self-care and boundary-setting while supporting others

This session is ideal for student leaders, peer eduators, instructors and GSIs, or professional staff. Walk away with language, tools, and practices you can share with your students — and use to sustain your own wellness as you support theirs.
