Holistic well-being is the key to student success. CHSS supports healthy lifestyle choices and works to ensure students have resources to care for their physical well-being. CHSS also provides a safe space to focus on your mental and spiritual health, help you stay grounded in your "why," and connect you with resources across the Emory community.
Navigating work/life balance can be difficult. CHSS encourages students' holistic wellness through a variety of self care options to promote physical, spiritual, and mental well-being. In addition, CHSS partners with Emory School of Medicine's embedded psychologists to sponsor wellness events for students.
