As we approach mid-semester, the many responsibilities that our students are balancing may begin to feel overwhelming for them. They may be experiencing the stress of mid-term exams, missing loved ones, worry about world events, or financial stress. Keeping our students healthy is one way to limit the impact of these often-unavoidable life challenges. Some basic strategies for students include good sleep, hygiene, daily movement, and proper nutrition.

For more information about mental health support for students, check out the resources page on the Counseling Center website. Here, students will also find access to a free mental health self-evaluation tool. If students need additional support or would like to schedule an appointment, please encourage them to contact the UIS Counseling Center at 217-206-7122 or counseling@uis.edu.
