Programs and Initiatives

Health Promotion and all peer education groups provide a variety of activities, programs and events that constantly strive for a healthier campus. While we are mostly known for PAWS Therapy Dogs or Produce of the Month, we also offer a wide variety of opportunities for you to improve any of your eight dimensions of wellness!

BAC Zone Cards and Tables

BAC Zone Cards are designed to help you rage responsibly. Each card is designed to fit each person's weight and biological sex. Each BAC Card comes with: a BAC cardholder, a Drink Safe Florida Card and a “Healthy Hatters Designate a Driver” card. Periodically, The WELL Team will have BAC Tables, where you can get your individualized BAC card (and perhaps maybe a prize or two). BAC cards are available anytime at the back desk of the Hollis Center (business hours do apply.)

Stress Less Day

Stress Less Day is a day filled with relaxing activities. Stress Less Day is designed to help relieve stress during finals and to educate on various mindfulness techniques. Activities include (but are not limited to) coloring books/pages, chair massages, snacks, make-your-own stress balls, aromatherapy, therapy dogs and a tea station. Stress Less Day occurs within the week before finals.

PAWS Therapy Dogs

PAWS Therapy Dogs is a monthly program hosted by The WELL Team in the DuPont Ball Library. PAWS Therapy Dogs are certified therapy dogs. They come into snuggle and play with Stetson students as they come in to study in the library. The WELL Team also provides information on mindfulness, stress, sleep, and resiliency. Sleep kits are also available. Sleep kits include information about sleep, sleepy time herbal tea, earplugs and a sleep mask. Come to a PAWS Therapy Dog event and get yours!

HIV Screening

HIV testing is a monthly program. Free and confidential tests are provided to all members of the Stetson Community. Tests are provided by the CAN Community Health as well as any follow-up appointments, medical needs, or medications necessary. The WELL Team helps provide information about condoms, contraceptive methods, healthy relationships and STI/STDs. Testing dates are announced at the beginning of each semester.

STI Screening

Free STI Testing is provided to the campus community once a semester. Through a collaboration with Stetson Health Service, The WELL Team educates students, faculty and staff on prevention methods while Stetson Health Service provides the testing and any follow-up appointments or needs necessary.

Tobacco-Free Stetson

Tobacco-Free Stetson is The WELL Team's tobacco-free initiative. Tobacco-Free Stetson typically consists of a series of tables educating on Stetson's Smoke-Free Policy, the dangers of tobacco and vaping, behavioral change techniques and more.

Sleep, Stress, and Resiliency

Sleep is an under-appreciated tool for stress relief and is also an essential aspect to maintaining your overall health. Learn about sleep hygiene, how to get better sleep, how to reduce stress and how to build resilience against stress and stressful situations. 

Wellness Workshops

Fronk Scholars, PACT, and The WELL Team provide a vast array of wellness workshops covering a wide variety of health topics. Workshops are able to be customized to fit your specific group's needs! Visit Stetson's DEVELOPED for more information, under the Wellness tab.
