While summer weather brings sunshine 🌞and temperate weather, the changing seasons can leave some folks feeling blue 😔 This summer semester, check-in with your well-being and build your skills to support others by participating in our upcoming training offerings.

In this edition of the Wellness Digest, we're excited to share some upcoming offerings to help our campus community of students, staff, and faculty stay holistically well over break.

This summer, we are able to expand our coaching services for University of Utah staff!

This temporary offering is available for Student Affairs staff to support our team members' certification completion.

This month, we have the privilege of adding a fantastic staff member to our team.
