Prevention & Education
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 works to support the community in many facets, such as sexual health, mental health, body image, recovery, and more.
Through a comprehensive approach to prevention and education, the office actively crafts 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 understanding effective intervention techniques through bystander intervention.
