The Wellness and Mental Health Week comes in alignment with UA’s establishing of a mental health strategy in partnership with the Lebanese Ministry of Health.
To promote a holistic approach for a “healthy university”, this event will tackle three main objectives:

• Increase mental health awareness and promote resilience to cope with challenges related to mental health.
• Explore the different dimensions of wellness, as identified in the wellness wheel, and apply practical tools to enhance their overall quality of life and resilience, on campus, and at home.
• Encourage student and staff-lead initiatives that support wellbeing in the academic community, all year through. Enabling them to act as wellbeing leaders in society.

Our vision is to create a “Culture of Wellness” that starts with individuals and expands to cover families, communities, and society.
At an individual level, we would like to invite each member of the UA community to explore and grow their talents, connect to their mission, and expand their network to incorporate the Eight Dimensions of Wellness into their lives as part of a holistic lifestyle.
At a community level, UA members will be empowered to collaborate within and outside the University to increase the number of homes, schools, communities, workplaces, and other settings that seek to create conditions to support mental wellness.
Enjoy this first edition of the “Wellness and Mental Health Week”, which will become part of our yearly traditions.
We wish you an uplifting wellness journey!
