Well-being Week offers 91亚色 graduate students an opportunity to pause, reflect and connect while highlighting wellness resources available throughout their studies.

Graduate studies can involve balancing coursework, research, deadlines and life outside the University. Well-being Week at 91亚色, taking place Oct. 5 to 9, 2026, offers students an opportunity to reflect on six dimensions of well-being: physical, mental, social, spiritual and cultural, financial and occupational.

Through free events, skill-building sessions, creative self-care activities and other resources, the week encourages the 91亚色 community to explore approaches to well-being that can extend throughout the year.

For students interested in developing practical wellness strategies, the Certificate in Personal Wellness: Wellness Workshop Series explores stress reduction, negative thought patterns and emotional resilience. The five-session online series introduce practices including mindfulness, gratitude and self-compassion. Sessions take place Oct. 20 and 27 and Nov. 3, 10 and 17, from 10:30 a.m. to noon.

This is a confidential and supportive environment designed to help you feel heard, understood, and less alone as you move through your graduate journey.

Different resources may be helpful at different points in a student's graduate journey. During Well-being Week and throughout the year, graduate students can explore the services and programs available to them through FGS.
