Hot Ones: Building Resilience Through Spice

Join Behavioral Medicine for Hot Ones: The Resilience Challenge, where students can strengthen their coping skills by trying increasingly spicy foods. We’ll practice mindfulness, emotional regulation, and self-care techniques to manage discomfort and stress. After braving the heat, unwind with therapy dogs offering comfort and emotional support. Whether you need a calming cuddle or a moment to breathe, they’re here for you. Expect some laughs, maybe a few tears (from spice of course), and plenty of support from our Behavioral Medicine staff, who will also be available to share mental health resources.
