At Goucher College, we believe that wellness should be a way of life and has a direct impact on your optimal health and happiness.
Good health means having a balance of emotional, environmental, financial, intellectual,
physical, social, and spiritual well-being. It’s easier to do your best when you’re
feeling your best. To that end, Goucher has a host of services to support student
health and wellness—from counseling and health services (medical and emergency care is provided throughout the academic year) to a full range
of wellness resources, sports and exercise facilities.
Understanding and respecting your feelings and the feelings of others, managing your emotions in a positive way, and generally feeling positive and enthusiastic about your life.
Understanding how your environments affect your health and well-being, and living a lifestyle that is respectful of our environment while taking steps to protect our Earth.
Managing your resources to live within your means, making informed financial decisions, setting realistic goals, and preparing for short-term or long-term emergencies.
Maintaining curiosity, valuing lifelong learning, responding positively to intellectual challenges, and discovering your potential to share your gifts with others.
Caring for your body to improve overall health and prevent future illnesses.
Creating and maintaining healthy relationships, caring for others and letting others care for you, and contributing to your community.
