Overview

The Office of Wellbeing promotes personal and collective wellbeing and reduces harms and barriers to health, safety, and equity through evidence-based, data-driven, inclusive, and restorative programs. The office is dedicated to preventing interpersonal violence and reducing the harms of alcohol and other drugs through intentional programming and education. The office also supports the community in many areas, including sexual health, mental health, body image, recovery, and more. 

Through a comprehensive approach to prevention and education, the office delivers a robust prevention strategy against interpersonal violence. Beginning from the outset of a student’s educational path, they are equipped to cultivate healthy behaviors and foster a culture of respect and consent while also learning to identify interpersonal violence and understand effective intervention techniques through bystander intervention.


Advocacy Leaders in Interpersonal Violence is a peer education group open to undergraduate and graduate students focused on preventing interpersonal violence, such as dating violence, sexual harassment, sexual assault, and stalking through programming and education on healthy relationships, consent education, policy change, and more.
