Trinity\u2019s new Bantams in Balance student wellness program, launched last fall, focuses on five main areas: substance use; self-care; relationships and sexual health; leadership; and diversity, equity, and inclusion.<\/p>\n
Bantams in Balance, in collaboration with several departments, offers special programming during high-stress exam weeks as well as ongoing activities including yoga, barre, meditation, spiritual practices, and drop-in counseling hours through the Counseling Center\u2019s Let\u2019s Talk program.<\/p>\n
October 2017\u2019s Fresh Check Day helped to raise awareness of mental health resources on campus and included therapy pets, massages, and free food and music. Kate Marinchak, Psy.D., a psychologist in Trinity\u2019s Counseling Center, said the day was so popular that the fall 2018 event has already been scheduled.<\/p>\n
Marinchak said organizers will continue to welcome requests for additional ideas from student groups via an online form. \u201cOur hope is that this programming will be a combination of responses to student requests and our own initiatives. We are constantly updating the calendar as we go.\u201d<\/p>\n
