Supporting Your Mental Health & Wellness
Chancellor-Provost Francine Conway recognizes health and wellness as crucial to our personal and institutional success, and will ensure that it remains a priority for Rutgers–New Brunswick. With the introduction of Mental Health and Wellness Week which began April 25, 2022, Rutgers has increased its focus on mental health and wellness as a way to address the needs of students and employees. Mental Health and Wellness Week provides vital resources and reminds us to take time each day to care for ourselves.
Start with these campus resources to begin your mental health and wellness journey:
