Taking Care: Finding Balance in Personal and Collective Wellbeing

Join Wolverine Wellness for an interactive workshop created especially for student staff, student leaders, and students in other helping roles who want to care for themselves and their communities more intentionally.

In the rush of daily life, we often move so quickly that we don’t pause to check in with ourselves. For many, especially depending on lived experiences, identifying or naming what we’re experiencing can feel unfamiliar or uncomfortable. But tuning in to our early warning signs can help us respond with care.

This workshop will help you unpack the relationship between stress and the eight dimensions of wellness, while offering practical strategies to strengthen your own resilience and show up for your peers with compassion and care.

Through this interactive session, you will:

• Understand the difference between eustress and distress
• Identify stressors in your own life and how they affect your well-being
• Discuss short-term, evidence-based stress reduction techniques
• Discover campus resources for ongoing mental health support
• Explore how to care for your own well-being while supporting others in theirs

Whether you're leading a student org, mentoring others, or simply trying to find balance, this workshop will offer space to reflect, connect, and strengthen your capacity for well-being — individually and collectively.
