WELLNESS CENTER Live, learn, and achieve well-being!
I was an all season athlete in high school, I decided to focus on my studies once I came to Central. I started making poor eating habits and didn’t work out. I was upset and hated my body image for a while, I noticed I’d get sick more often. I learned that I needed to take care of my body and exercise to get my body healthy again. The exercise made me feel better about myself, especially when I saw the physical changes in my body. I tend to be more active now and even if I don’t look like I used to, I love the way I look and makes me happy to know I accepted my physical form. - Briana Silva, third year

Bystander Intervention (Step Up) As an incoming student, you’re required to complete an online course called “U Got This!” In addition, Step Up Wildcats! is our evidence-based bystander intervention program. We teach students that they have the ability to stop a problematic situation and help another person out. This program identifies barriers to helping, addresses value based decisions, names the steps needed in order to Step Up, and then lists the ways in which students can choose to help. During the training, we also provide common scenarios that students may run into, to help empower them and make them feel confident in how they would approach different situations. Peer Health Educators You’re health conscious, like to plan events, are interested in teaching and outreach, and love to work with your fellow Wildcats. If you think it’s impossible to put all those things into one neat package, think again. As a Peer Health Educator, you’ll do all these things while also perfecting skills that will take you far, personally and professionally. Peer Health Educators create change by educating fellow students on a variety of health topics—stress management, sexual health, diet and nutrition, physical activity and more. Based on your interests, you’ll help increase awareness and knowledge of these important health topics and do it in a unique way only you can by working directly with your peers.
