  3. Health and Wellness

Wellness means overall well-being. It incorporates the mental, emotional, physical, occupational, intellectual, and spiritual aspects of a person's life. Each aspect of wellness can affect the overall quality of life, so it's important to consider all areas.

 

Crisis & Pandemic Fatigue (a.k.a. Burnout)

The links below may provide some ways to understand the impact of stress on you and help you through difficult situations.

UNO Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) is available to all enrolled students regardless of modality (i.e. in-person or online classes). Please call 402.554.2409 to schedule an appointment.
