"Be gentle first with yourself if you wish to be gentle with others." -Lama Yeshe
CAPS Wellness Zones (WZ) are available for students on a drop-in basis. We offer many wellness resources to help you manage stress, rest and relax as you navigate your busy life as a student at U of M
The WZ's are in 3 Locations:
- Munger Residence Hall (lower level)
- Pierpont Commons (lower level)
- Michigan Union (4th fl)
The Wellness Zones were developed as both a concrete place with specific tools to support emotional wellness, and as a way to promote an emotionally healthy lifestyle. Emotional Wellness is a proactive and positive approach to living that increases resilience to stress by promoting life balance and contentment. True psychological wellbeing is an ongoing, ever changing process that is unique for each individual. Our wellness philosophy at CAPS affirms the multifaceted needs of the "whole student", including the mental, social, spiritual and other aspects of self. We believe a holistic approach to understanding student experience is critical to providing optimal emotional wellness services at CAPS.
