The Office of Student Wellness is a partnership of people, programs, services, and policies, which supports a culture of health and wellness for Lynn University students.

Wellness at Lynn University is defined as making healthy lifestyle choices regarding mind, body, and spirit, and these characteristics are the common thread of the programs and services interwoven in all offices focused on student well-being. 

Purpose

Educate

An integrative and holistic wellness model is used to promote and enhance the health and well-being of students through support and education on a variety of aspects of well-being.   Through health education, prevention programs, support for students in crisis, and strategies to thrive, this department invites each student to consider how to maximize opportunities to support a well-balanced life.

A broad wellness model, which identifies eight dimensions of wellness, promotes a holistic approach to development of our campus and students.              

• Physical - Caring for one’s body and protecting from injury and harm
• Emotional – Awareness, acceptance and coping of emotions, feelings and thoughts in a healthy and adaptive manner
• Spiritual – Exploring meaning and purpose; expanding beliefs, principles, and values to give direction to one’s life
• Intellectual – Engaging in stimulating mental activity, recognizing creative ability, and expanding  knowledge and skills
• Social – Development of a sense of connection and belonging as well as a mature support system
• Environmental - Occupying environments that are pleasant, stimulating, and support well-being
• Financial – Satisfaction and competence with managing current and future financial situations
• Occupational – Satisfaction and enrichment through work, professional growth and preparation, and use of one’s gifts, skills, and talents
