Abstract:
|
In recent years, college students have expressed higher levels of stress. This may be due to the fact that college students may need more extracurricular activities when entering the workforce or applying to graduate school. These demands are forcing college students to neglect their psychological and physical well-being. To address those issues, we implemented a wellness program for undergraduate students participating in our ten-week summer research program at a large Hispanic-serving institution. We developed weekly workshops based on the dimensions of positive education (psychological, cognitive, physical, and social) to provide the students with wellness skills and abilities so that they are equipped to meet the challenges throughout their college years. During this session, we will share the wellness intervention's activities and outcomes. |
