Paws for Stress Relief<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nCome pet the pups! Paws for Stress Relief brings therapy dogs to campus for students to spend some time with. This monthly program occurs on select Mondays on the River Campus and Thursdays at Eastman School of Music. Health Promotion also provides educational information, fun activities, and stress-relief giveaways such as lavender sachets or stress balls.\r\n
DeStress Fests<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nDestress Fest is an opportunity to engage in a variety of fun, stress-relieving activities during midterms and finals.

Pop-Up Sensory Spaces<\/h3>\r\nThe Sensory Pop-Up Program will provide students with accessible, low-barrier opportunities to engage in relaxation, grounding, focus, and decrease overstimulation during the academic year. These temporary spaces offer a variety of sensory supports, including calming lights, fidget toys, aromatherapy, mindfulness activities, coloring, and quiet reflection spaces to decompress.\r\n\r\nRecognizing that students have diverse sensory needs and preferences, the program aims to create welcoming and inclusive environments during major campus events and traditions, as well as high-stress time periods such as midterms and finals. These spaces are designed to support neurodivergent students, students experiencing stress or overwhelm, or any student seeking a moment of calm, restoration, or sensory relief. Brought to you in collaboration with Health Promotion, the CARE Network, Residential Life & Housing, and Student Activities.\r\n\r\n
