Description
Breakout Session #2Student leaders play an important role in holding conversations around health and wellness on a college campus. Knowing about the Eight Dimensions of Well-Being—social, environmental, spiritual, financial, physical, emotional, intellectual, and occupational—and understanding how they impact people that leaders serve is imperative. It is also critical that student leaders are informed about these eight dimensions for endorsing their own wellness. Supporting and leading others can be a daunting task that demands a lot of people, especially student leaders. Peer Health Educators encourage student leaders to invest in strategies to develop self-care and resiliency. Informed student leaders take on the challenges presented to them head-on, but they also know when to take a step back, examine their own role in the task at hand, and evaluate if they need a break or turn to others for further support. We plan to share the Eight Dimensions of Well-Being with student leaders, emphasizing the importance of taking care of oneself to build resiliency and continue leading important community-building work. We also will share strategies to tend to the needs of the dimensions, facilitating conversations about getting in touch with what student leaders need in and out of their roles, ways that wellness can be realized within leadership positions.
