Health, Safety, and Well-being

Research confirms that a student’s physical and mental health, as well as the safety of their environment, greatly impact outcomes for all students, particularly those who are a part of the growing demographic seeking to begin or continue treatment related to wellness at our institutions.

NASPA is proud to have signed on to the "Health and Well-being in Higher Education" statement. We believe that student affairs professionals are the driving force behind the essential systems supporting student wellness at most institutions and NASPA is here to support ensuring our practices are ahead of emerging trends and reflective of current research. No matter your function within health, safety, and well-being work, we provide initiatives, resources, and opportunities to support you.

The following are the signature initiatives of the NASPA Health, Safety, and Well-being focus area.
