Health & Wellness
At the Office of Health and Wellness, we hope to create a safe space for students to explore health, wellness, and self-advocacy through destigmatizing mental health and utilizing harm reduction practices. We believe in promoting the health and wellbeing of students through raising awareness of issues that affect the mind, body and spirit.
College is an exciting experience, and we are so happy you're here! Stonehill thrives on educating the whole being; mind, body and spirit. Throughout your time at Stonehill we hope you will meet new people, create new memories, and try new things. You may experience challenges and successes, and if you need any support along the way, don't hesitate to reach out! We are here for you.
