We encourage students to read this content mindfully, recognizing that although sometimes a specific population is addressed or a specific audience is targeted, most of the materials shared in the sections below can be applicable and useful to many people for a variety of reasons depending on their own personal experiences and where they are in life’s journey. Remember that Flagler logo in the center the Wellness Wheel is representative of ALL your identities (student, sibling, friend, singer, video gamer, book lover, sexually active, in recovery for substance use, Asian-American, gender non-conforming, Jewish, Starbucks Barista, HIV+, etc.). You may find that some content does not fit for you now, but it may become important later, so be sure to return to these resources when you are struggling with a certain wellness dimension.

Keep in mind some materials may never resonate for you, but they are very helpful to someone else — that is why we’ve listed so many different resources! So, feel free to try substituting words to get to the crux of the material so that it can become relevant for you. As you review the resources and materials below focus primarily on what topics, skills or strategies are being discussed.
