Our vision for well-being at Stanford integrates the needs of individuals and communities, with the ultimate goal of making this a place in which everyone has the capacity to feel well, do well, and be well. Explore How Do I Flourish? here

Our mission is to empower individuals and communities to flourish through education, connection and positive culture change. The Well-Being at Stanford team helps you cultivate the internal and external resources to live a healthy, vibrant life; manage stress; build resilience; and form meaningful connections with others. Well-being is inextricably linked to liberation and social justice. Our Stanford communities are broad and diverse, and many carry the weight of historical and ongoing oppression. We are committed to the continual work needed to move the campus culture and systems within it towards liberation for all students. Connect With Your Well-Being Team Here

"My coach helped me explore new patterns of thinking and helped me practice switching between multiple perspectives. I am more aware of myself and my values because of coaching, so now I know what I want my life to look like, at Stanford and beyond."

"My well-being coach has honestly helped me more than any other helping professional I've ever known. I am so grateful to have found Well-Being Coaching — I have felt so heard and understood and empowered to take action with the things in my life that I'm struggling with. Amazing service, I would recommend it to any and every student."

"My coach has been a huge help to me to navigate a very hard time changing advisors. I had to restart my PhD after 2.5 years of working in a toxic environment. Coaching helped me to identify what was valuable to keep from my previous experience and how to recover from the issues that remained from that previous episode and flourish in my second chance."
