Holistic Huskies' Mindfulness Fact!
Fact #4: Mindfulness ≠ Meditation
Mindfulness isn't limited to mediation; it can be creative, practical, and geared to your needs.

Join the Holistic Huskies in the Homer Babbidge Library from 12-2pm to learn mindfulness basics, practice breathing and grounding exercises, and take time to reset in a supportive, nonjudgmental space. Open to all experience levels—come pause, recharge, and find what works for you. Find selections from the UConn Library’s wellness collection or ask a librarian for help finding more resources to take with you.

Practice mindfulness. Breathe. Reset.

My Sexuality, My Health 💜

Sexuality is a vital part of identity — and it plays a meaningful role in how we experience health, relationships, and self-care.
In this episode, Huskies share how embracing their sexuality has shaped their wellbeing and empowered them to advocate for themselves.

This story is about authenticity, trust, and finding care that meets you where you are.

🔊 Tune in to listen, learn, and reflect.

Holistic Huskies' Mindfulness Fact!
Fact #3: Mindfulness doesn’t have to be time-consuming!
Activities can be as short as a 2-min breathing exercise or as long as a full body scan.

Join the Holistic Huskies in the Homer Babbidge Library from 12-2pm to learn mindfulness basics, practice breathing and grounding exercises, and take time to reset in a supportive, nonjudgmental space. Open to all experience levels—come pause, recharge, and find what works for you. Find selections from the UConn Library’s wellness collection or ask a librarian for help finding more resources to take with you.

Edibles hit differently. Start low, go slow, and stay informed. Remember that edibles can take longer to feel and last longer than other forms, so pacing yourself is key. Reach out to SHaW for more info and resources.

In honor of the upcoming CT Health Equity Week (April 6th – 10th, 2026), UConn Student Health and Wellness is curating a gallery that moves beyond statistics. In 2022, Connecticut made history by codifying Health Equity Week into state law (C.G.S. § 10-29a). This wasn't just a gesture; it was a mandate to every citizen to help dismantle the systemic barriers that keep our neighbors from living their healthiest lives.
We are looking for student artists! Help us visualize what it means (and what it feels like) to strive for a world where everyone has a fair shot at being healthy. Use your talent to educate the campus community on vital social issues.
We want to see your interpretation of:
-Barriers to Care: What does the "invisible wall" of healthcare look like?
-Community Healing: How do neighborhoods care for one another outside of hospital walls?
-The Future of Justice: What does a perfectly equitable healthcare system look like in your wildest dreams?
We are accepting a wide range of mediums. Whether you’re a digital illustrator, a sculptor, or a poet, your voice belongs here. Please see the slides above for types of submissions allowed and the process of how to submit!
Deadline for submissions is April 8th. Please help us showcase your work!
