WesWELL

WesWELL, the Office of Health Education, is the division of Wesleyan University’s Health Services.

Our mission is to promote mindfulness and responsibility in all areas of health and wellness in order to prevent disease, injury and other health problems. We strive to promote good health of mind, body and spirit by helping members of the Wesleyan community, particularly students, connect with resources and gain knowledge that will aid in the enhancement of their well-being, encourage self-discovery, and support their intellectual proficiency and academic success.  

WesWELL is staffed by a professional health educator, student Peer Health Advocates, and student office assistants. The office is staffed from August 1 to May 31 and is open Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm, and evenings by request or appointment.

• offering educational outreach programs and awareness activities, often in collaboration with student organizations or other campus departments and offices
