Content: Be sure you closely monitor your behaviors, including how often you use drugs and/or drink. It's also helpful for college students to socialize outside of parties and look for alternative ways to hang out with friends without the involvement of drugs and alcohol. Value Sexual Health and Safety
Sexual health is another key part of overall wellness. Students should practice safe sex and understand the different methods of protection and birth control. They should also know how to access STD screenings at their college health center. Additionally, students should know how to talk about consent and safety in intimate relationships. Unfortunately, sexual assault remains a widespread issue on college campuses. Some schools employ bystander training programs, which show students how to take action if they see a violent crime or assault. Such programs can also teach students about reporting mechanisms on campus and mental health treatment options for those who have experienced trauma. Become Health Literate
One of college students' biggest hurdles is learning to take care of themselves.
