Virtual Self-Care Kit for Students Available Now

Recognizing that student mental health and wellness needs have spiked during the COVID-19 pandemic, NOVA’s Instructional and Student Services Committee has collaborated with The Office of Wellness and Mental Health to create a Virtual Self-Care Kit. This kit includes wellness strategies, e-resources and counseling referral information that students can access as needed. OWMH asks for faculty and staff assistance in promotion of this kit via email signatures, syllabi and other publications and documents accessible to students to bolster overall mental health and wellness. Addressing these needs is critical to student success inside the classroom and out, and early intervention increases student autonomy and aids in crisis prevention. Access the Virtual Self-Care Kit for additional information and contact The Office of Wellness and Mental Health at wellness@nvcc.edufor assistance.
