Health & Wellbeing

We envision a college in which all students thrive, are ready to learn, and are capable of their best performance. We can help you sustain yourself intellectually, emotionally, physically, spiritually, and socially. With a strong foundation of wellbeing, you can use your talents to contribute to your community and to the world.

We provide support, resources, and practical tools to help you thrive.

The foundations of wellbeing have been articulated in many cultures and societies for centuries: Love, work, and play.

We align wellness with many other initiatives at the college, to ensure that your wellbeing is an essential element of your Amherst experience.

This site is a guide and resource for you. We have strived to make it comprehensive and useful, and hope it will serve as a starting point for our community, at the very least. The site is not meant to contain all information and knowledge regarding health and well-being, but it will evolve as our community engages with these issues.
