TAKE CARE.
How can I stay healthy in college?
Here at UNO, wellness is how we incorporate the multiple elements of everyday health into one model. Across the 8 Dimensions of Wellness, you can find support for everything from physical wellness to intellectual wellness or spiritual wellness. Our Wellness Center is also here to support you on your journey toward living a healthy and balanced lifestyle while at UNO.
How can I get support with adjusting to college life?
There are a number of common concerns that college students experience. Counseling and Psychological Services has put together a short list of some of these, along with some basic information to help you help yourself or help a friend. If you feel like you, or a friend, might be struggling in one of these areas then please call and set up an appointment to discuss it further with a counselor.
I am having trouble making ends meet. What support services are available to me?
If you find yourself struggling with food insecurity or homelessness, UNO has resources to support you. The Maverick Food Pantry contributes to our culture of caring by providing food to those in immediate need, and connecting them with resources in the greater Omaha area for long-term support. You can confidentially request a food package on Engage and pick up the package in 130 CEC.
