Wellness Wednesday ✨

Before the next task, notification, or deadline—pause and check in:

1️⃣ What am I feeling?
2️⃣ Where do I feel it in my body?
3️⃣ What do I need right now?

You deserve care too—especially from yourself.

Congratulations to the PWAs who are now Mental Health First Aiders! These dedicated students spent last Friday with us, learning how to recognize the signs and symptoms of mental health and substance use challenges, along with practical ways they can help others in need.

We’re so proud of the ways our Blazer community promotes the importance of mental health, and we’re very grateful for student leaders who carry what they learn in our trainings into their classrooms, student organizations, and workplaces.

If you would like to begin learning more about mental health resources available at UAB, join the Mental Health Advocate course on Canvas or register on Engage to join us at our next MHFA training on February 7th at 8:30am in the Student Health & Wellness Center, Wellness Promotion Classroom.

First day of class check-in:

Before the syllabus, before the stress—take one slow breath in… and out.

You don’t have to have it all figured out today.
Just showing up is enough.

✨ You’ve got this.

✨ Wellness Wednesday ✨

Hey Blazers—holiday break is your time to rest, reset, and recharge.

You don’t need to have it all figured out over break.
We’ll be here when you’re back. ❤️

It’s finals week, Blazers! 📚

Managing stress during final exams can be challenging, but with the right strategies, you can reduce the feeling of overwhelm and stay focused.

Mindfulness can be incredibly effective in grounding you, reducing stress, and helping gain clarity.

Today we celebrated our Fall 2025 Mental Health Fellows as well as our graduate clinical & undergraduate non-clinical interns for their hours of service this semester! 💚

Mental Health Fellows are students who have completed all three levels of the university-wide certification program, including an overview of digital tools and platforms, QPR Su***de Prevention, and Mental Health First Aid.

Our community is fortunate to have the group of mental health advocates with us serving as dedicated and passionate student leaders.

Happy Wellness Wednesday 💚

How we think about ourselves is important for our mental and overall wellness.

We often feel like we have to be perfect. Especially when there is pressure to perform academically.

Remember, people aren't perfect and doing our best is enough.

Burnout can often happen without us noticing before it gets intense.

Take a second and think about how you've been doing with these signs of burnout in mind.

Burnout isn't a sign of failure; it's just time to take a break and take care of yourself.

Happy Mindful Monday Blazers! 🐉

Take a minute, just 60 seconds, to reset with some breathing before focusing on your day.

You matter!

Why Counseling?

Mental health counseling is a unique relationship in which a therapist walks beside you, listens to your story without judgement, and offers tailored support.

Sometimes counseling may be short. It may help you to learn concrete skills to improve relationships, reduce stress, increase productivity or to improve other symptoms that have a negative impact on your life. Counseling can also give support during a challenging transition or life event. Sometimes counseling is longer term, and we may work together to improve a specific disorder, trauma, or targeted area in your life.

Whatever reason you have to seek counseling, we are here for you, UAB students!

UAB Student Counseling Services offers students of all backgrounds, races, religious beliefs, sexual orientations, gender identities, abilities, ethnicities, and cultures a safe place to discuss and resolve issues that interfere with personal and academic goals.
