From therapy animals and resilience training to AI-powered productivity tips and reflective writing, the UTHealth Houston Office of Faculty Affairs and Development Wellness Committee in collaboration with the UTHealth Houston Employee Wellness Programs is sponsoring Wellness Week July 6-10 and is inviting employees to pause, recharge, and reconnect.

The weeklong series offers virtual and in-person opportunities designed to support the well-being of faculty, staff, residents, and fellows across the university.

Programming will focus on practical strategies for reducing stress, preventing burnout, and building healthier routines in and outside the workplace.
