UWell sees wellness in its seven dimensions: physical, spiritual, career/academic, emotional, social/cultural, financial, and environmental. UWell and its website is designed to help all members of the campus community, whether a current or future student, parent, or employee, find creditable resources and information about all the dimensions of wellness.
Resources that UWell helps connect the campus community to include:
- University Health Services offers no-cost mental health services and provides wellness programs including meditation training, nutritional counseling, and sleep management to students (https://www.uhs.wisc.edu/mental-health/).

This program is voluntary and provided at no cost to employees and their spouse if enrolled in the State Group Health Insurance Program.

There is also a monetary incentive to employees enrolled in the State Group Health Insurance Program.
