A brief description of the institution’s wellness and/or employee assistance program(s):
The office for Wellness and Health Promotion along with its student organization, Health and Wellness Crew (HAWC), empower healthy decision making through education, prevention, and peer support. They address wellness holistically with physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, and social components central to how we approach our work. Staff are available to discuss physical wellness, mental health, alcohol and other drugs, as well as healthy relationships. Staff works with students individually to provide resources and help develop a plan for sustainable wellbeing. See: https://www.seattleu.edu/wellness/
The Health and Wellness Crew (HAWC) is made up of student volunteers who are trained as certified peer health educators. They answer questions, offer support, provide resources and develop and implement programs and awareness campaigns across campus. See: https://www.seattleu.edu/wellness/hawc/
The Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) center offers crisis counseling, time-limited individual and group therapy sessions, mental health screenings, and referral services for those requiring specialized or on-going care.
