Welcome

Our Purpose

Healthy Minds on Campus evolved out of The Art and Science of Human Flourishing course with the purpose of providing a space for all students to discuss and learn about evidence-based practices and habits that support well-being, fostering individual and group mindfulness practices, and continuing to grow as students and healthy minded people.

What We Do

  • Events: Healthy Minds on Campus hosts events and meetings throughout the academic year to promote student well-being.
  • Advocacy: Healthy Minds on Campus advocates for student well-being on campus by working with leaders and organizations at UW-Madison.

Healthy Minds Program

Healthy Minds Innovations, a nonprofit affiliated with the Center for Healthy Minds, created the Healthy Minds Program, a free smartphone application with podcast-style lessons and both seated and active meditations. Users can learn about the science behind well-being while also developing skills related to the four pillars of well-being!

The Four Pillars of Well-Being

Utilizing decades of research, our affiliate, the Center for Healthy Minds has identified four areas that contribute to well-being: awareness, connection, insight and purpose. Healthy Minds on Campus gives students an opportunity to engage in activities related to the four pillars to promote their well-being which translates to better physical and mental health!
The process of transformation – being vulnerable, challenging one’s assumptions, rebuilding and growing, constantly questioning and making connections – is where flourishing [seems] to reside for many students, and that’s the point. It looks unique for each person.
