CED Wellness Affairs
In response to the wellness disparities experienced by the undergraduate students of the College of Environmental Design (CED) at UC Berkeley, the CED Wellness Affairs program will serve all students of the college in promoting basic health and wellness practices to encourage students to practice self-care in all aspects of their lives. Ultimately, we aim to support students in living balanced and fulfilled lives at CED.
CED Wellness Affairs will engage in the following actions to address the problems faced by students:
1. Programming/Events: Develop and implement programming that engages peers, impart new skills/knowledge, facilitate self-reflection, and cultivate positive transformation towards one’s holistic health.
2. Promotion and Connection to Resources: Promote & connect students to resources in and outside of CED such as the Tang Center, Health Promotion, Student Learning Center, and other relevant areas. They are to serve as liaisons to the campus health & wellness community.
3. Campaigns: Run campaigns among the CED community to further advocate for an inclusive community that values positive health and wellness alongside academic excellence.
- Holistic Wellness: We look at student wellness holistically– meaning we aim to serve everyone as a whole person in all aspects of their lives—Social, Spiritual, Intellectual, Physical, Career, & Emotional (The Six Dimensions of Wellness Model, Bill Hettler 1976).
- Service-Learning: Our engagement with others in CED has the potential to become not only a community building experience, but a learning experience for us to become better peer health educators.
- Collaborative Teaching & Learning: As a team we work together to develop workshops, do projects, and tackle problems together.
- Social Justice: CED Wellness Affairs is all about creating an environment that moves towards addressing equity gaps that influence the holistic wellness of students in CED.
