What is wellness?

"Wellness is a multidimensional state of being describing the existence of positive health in an individual as exemplified by quality of life and a sense of well-being." -Arizona State University's Charles B. Corbin.

Who can help you achieve wellness?

SHS Health Promotion is here to serve you. From wellness presentations to health awareness events, there is something for everyone! Contact us to schedule a health program for your residence hall, classroom, or student organization. Popular health topics include: sexual health, party safety, nutrition, and stress management.
