We have recently partnered with Strong Minds America (SMA), a mental health agency that supports the emotional wellbeing of young adults through advocacy, education, prevention, and intervention. 

• SMA will be offering mental health screenings every week for students to identify with what they're feeling and share resources to improve mental health outcomes throughout their college experience. 
  • Screenings will be offered every Wednesday, starting January 24 for the Spring 2024 semester. An SMA Representative will be available in Paul Robeson Campus Center on Student Street from 11:30am - 1:00pm.
• SMA also works with the Counseling Center to provide group counseling sessions, which come at no cost, and are led by highly skilled mental health professionals who are culturally sensitive and understanding. 

To learn more about our Strong Minds America providers, please visit the counseling center or contact them directly at counseling@newark.rutgers.edu

Engaging in regular physical activity has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and symptoms of depression, providing much-needed relief during demanding academic periods. With this in mind, we are offering a series of recreation classes to help you prioritize your wellbeing from a holistic lens. 

Research proves that, just like exercise and eating well, being involved in arts and culture is good for our health. Engaging in this area of wellness has been proven to reduce stress, improve emotional well-being, and boost social connections.

In partnership with the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC), we're excited to provide students with opportunities to participate in creative workshops and attend special NJPAC viewings and performances. Whether you're going to a museum, a concert, a dance class, or doing creative writing, the arts make our lives better and healthier. 

Here's a look at the programs that will be rolling out in the near future. 

• Creative Arts Workshop: Every semester, NJPAC facilitators will visit the RU-N campus to host an exciting creative arts workshop, guiding students to decompress while they tune their focus to creating with passion. 
• NJPAC Performances: Select students will get an opportunity to attend exclusive NJPAC performances, with a chance to participate in open discussions post-performance. 

More related initiatives and information will be provided as dates become available.
