Tranquility + Aerobics Room

x

Mather Students: the Wellness Corner spaces (Tranquility Room and Aerobics Room) are open for individual use 24/7 with your Mather HUID access. For information about current group programming in the space, reach out to Nina at nbryce@huhs.harvard.edu

The Center for Wellness & Health Promotion (CWHP) at HUHS is excited to be offering a neighborhood-based wellness initiative in River East neighborhood this year, which features 1:1 Wellness Coaching Conversations and group wellness programming. These resources are open to students in Mather, Dunster and Leverett Houses (River East neighborhood) only at this time. Many of these programs take place right here in the Mather Wellness Corner!

 

Wellness Coaching Conversations
Wellness Coaching conversations are free, confidential 1:1 health & wellbeing coaching sessions which offer support and structure for creating personal wellness vision & developing skills to feel healthy and well in everyday life. Wellness Coaching Conversations are not therapy and do not involve mental health diagnosis or treatment. Using mindfulness-based approaches that foster clarity and self-awareness, the Wellness Coach and student will work together to identify the areas of wellbeing in which the student wants support and feels ready to make changes, such as sleep, eating, stress, etc. You can expect to meet for about a month, and the coach will support the student in developing next steps for supporting wellness after the 4-session series is complete. Wellness Coaching Conversations are in-person (unless meeting via Zoom is necessary for specific reasons) and take place in meeting rooms in Mather, Dunster, and Leverett Houses (rotating schedule across different locations on different days of the week.) Students can book these appointments through the HUHS patient portal : they go to “appointments”, then “schedule an appointment” and select “wellness coaching” and follow the prompts there. Email Nina at nbryce@huhs.harvard.edu with any questions!
