Promote individual skills, behaviors and mindsets to enhance positive coping and resilience

Ways TigerWell seeks to — and encourages campus partners to — achieve this goal:

• Connect authentically with others

• Get good sleep

• Move, fuel, and appreciate your body

• Contribute to an inclusive culture of care (e.g., allyship, bystander intervention)

• Balance commitments

• Use resources

• Spend time in nature

• Build emotional awareness (e.g., toleration of negative emotions, positive coping)

• Practice mindfulness

• Cultivate a growth mindset

• Express gratitude

• Discover your purpose and meaning

  Please note: While building individual behaviors, skills, and mindsets is important for enhancing well-being, we also encourage campus partners to identify and address the various contextual and situational factors surrounding students’ capacity and readiness to apply these practices in their own lives. Systemic barriers to well-being are pernicious and operate in ways that reduce health equity for members of our campus community, especially those who hold (multiple) marginalized identities. Through Partnership & Seed Grants and other projects, TigerWell also seeks to go beyond the individual level, to address systemic and structural change.
