Content: Well-Developed Self Care Skills
Develop bedtimes based on physical need and health. Adequate sleep and a healthy diet can improve mood, athletic and classroom performance and coping strategies for stress. Exercise, relaxation and good hygiene are also important aspects of self-care. Keeping Safe and Avoiding Risky Behaviors
Staying safe means learning to advocate for your well being. It means making smart and low-risk choices and planning for the “what ifs” in life. Seeking Assistance When Needed
A big part of advocating for yourself is knowing when to ask for help. The college years are a time for learning new information, new life skills and a new way of relating with our world. Seeking help when you need it is a sign of strength and integrity, not an admission of failure. Respecting the Rules and Policies
Every community has rules and policies and our college campus is no different. Our rules and policies apply to safety and fostering a positive community where all students are respectful of themselves, others and the environment.
