| | Start the Semester With a Plan for Your Mental Health | | Kicking off a new school year? In this short video, Dr. Oleshansky, clinical health psychologist and mom, reminds students that well-being matters just as much as academics. | |
Key tips:
-
Busy doesn't equal balanced – More isn't always better when it comes to scheduling.
-
Move every day – Take a walk, dance to music, or make plans to move with a friend.
-
Use nature as medicine – Even a few minutes outdoors or looking at natural images can ease stress.
