In partnership with the Counseling Center, The University of Alabama has created Tide Timeout, an initiative that supports graduate students’ mental health. We have identified points of stress around major program milestones, (e.g. comprehensive exams or execution of thesis /dissertation requirements) and developed mechanisms for supporting students through those transitions. Tide Timeout’s mission is to help students:
Establishing a framework of principles and commitments is just the first step toward creating more inclusive, supportive program and campus environment and ensuring more equitable access to care.
WellTrack is an interactive mental health app available to all UA students. This tool will help students manage health and wellbeing while providing on-campus resources. WellTrack uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify, understand and address issues that students may be facing. Our hope is to help students understand their own mental health while providing and empowering them to seek help for their own specific needs. Students can download the WellTrack app and register with their crimson.ua.edu email address.
Circling Back is a monthly newsletter for students, by students, that promotes health and wellness and focuses on encouraging students to adopt healthy lifestyle habits. At the beginning of each month during the academic year, Circling Back sends an email to subscribers that circles back around the Alabama Model of Health and Wellbeing. This model represents the seven dimensions of wellness, focusing on academic, career, financial, psychological, physical, social and spiritual wellbeing.
The goal for Circling Back to be a catch-all resource for UA students to learn more about how different areas of their lives and health intersect and affect each other and find ways to incorporate holistic health into their daily lives. This newsletter can help students learn more about what health and wellbeing means in their own lives as students, and hopefully, to feel inspired about making healthy choices for years to come.
Ulifeline contains many mental health resources for UA students. Students may access these free and anonymous resources to learn more about mental health in general and also answer questions they may have about themselves or their friends.
The Counseling Center hosts “Mind Matters” workshops throughout the academic year. Every workshop focuses on a different topic that students may face or struggle with during their college experience.
