Dear SPH community,

There are a lot of unknowns right now, and this can lead to a lot of anxiety, stress, fear, and feeling overwhelmed. 

As your Wellness Coordinator, please know that I will be available to meet with people via Zoom or phone during this remote time to make a plan for self-care, to process, and to explore resources.  

Set up a time to chat here. If you are hoping for a time that you don’t see listed, feel free to email sphwell@bu.edu.  

I will also lead some Zoom wellness events during this time. Please see the Zoom links and further information on the SPH calendar.

Additionally, Student Health Services put together recommendations for caring for yourself here.

Some other tips for managing during this time include:

  • Make a list of what is in your control vs. not.  It can be helpful to see this on paper and focus on what is in your control right now. 
  • Set up phone dates with family and friends. Now can be a good time to catch up with those you typically don’t have time to do so with. 
  • Play Chopped in your kitchen, making meals out of various ingredients you have around.
  • Know that you are not alone in your feelings.

Warmly,

Ilana
