"How Are You?" is more than a greeting. It's a check-in that lets people know you care.
Instead of answering, "I'm good, how are you?", what would happen if we all gave honest responses, and really listened to each other's answers?
Wildcats, check in with yourselves and each other. Reach out for support when you need it.
New! PROGAM FOR STUDENTS:
How Are You — Really?
“How are you” is more than a greeting. It’s a check-in that lets people know you care. And, when you respond to the greeting, it’s a way for you to check-in with yourself and authentically share what you’re experiencing.
As part of the How are you — really? campaign, we’ve created an educational program to help students better understand and care for their emotional wellness and mental health. As a result of this program, students will be able to...
- Explain the differences and symptoms between stress, anxiety, and depression;
- Utilize the Mood Meter as an emotional wellness check-in tool to name their mood;
- Utilize the Mental Health Continuum (MHC) as a tool to access their mental health status to determine if they are content, okay, struggling, or distressed;
- Identify and use inner resources and campus resources to support their mental health wherever they are on the MHC.
This program is 50 minutes and is presented by staff or student facilitators from Health & Wellness and/or Psychological and Counseling Services (PACS). Opportunities for knowledge attainment, self-reflection, group processing, and skill building are provided.
Self-Assessment Tools
Mental health lies on a continuum between content and distressed, and it is normal to experience a wide range of emotions between the two. Knowing where you fall on the continuum at any given time can help you understand and respond to your needs and ask for help.
Are you actually "good"? Or "fine"? There are lots of other ways to answer the question, "How are you?" Use the Mood Meter to dive deeper and build your emotional vocabulary.
The Well-Being Wheel is a check-in tool that allows you to better understand what is going well and what may be challenging. Ask yourself: How can I align my values with my choices? How do my identities, strengths, and experiences affect my wellness? How is my community supporting my wellness? How am I contributing to others’ wellness?
