For Faculty & Staff Members

Health and wellness issues impact students both inside and outside the classroom. Often faculty and staff members provide the link between the student and health resources. Having an understanding of available resources can assist in connecting students to the appropriate office or information. These connections may make the difference in their ability to succeed academically and personally.

Therefore, WesWELL has compiled the following health education resources specifically for Wesleyan faculty and staff. Also, please click on Wellness A to Z in the navigation bar to the left to learn more about specific health issues. Feel free to contact a WesWELL staff member if you have any questions on these resources.
