Wellness & Health Program
Wellness — Where Cardinals Thrive
As part of the Offices of Student Engagement and Leadership, the wellness team collaborates campus-wide to provide programming through the Cardinals Thrive initiative.
Cardinals Thrive
Our wellness initiative focuses on providing students with the tools to live a balanced, healthy life. We coordinate events and programs for the campus community based around the eight pillars of wellness.
Wellness at SUNY Plattsburgh centers on a holistic approach that works to provide meaning to all areas of wellness including: Social, emotional, physical, environmental, spiritual, intellectual, financial and occupational.
Eight Pillars of Wellness
- Social — Having connections with others, forming positive relationships and contributing to the community
- Emotional — Managing and regulating our emotions in a healthy way, and engaging in lifestyle practices that maintain positive mental health
- Physical — How we move, fuel and stay connected with our bodies
- Environmental — Respecting and protecting the natural world, as well as how we interact with our immediate environment
- Spiritual — Reflecting and reframing to support inner peace and finding practices that suit you
- Intellectual — Stimulating our brains and engaging in lifelong learning
- Financial — Understanding our finances, how to use money responsibly and how to save for the future
- Occupational — Choosing a path based on interests and practicing work-life balance
