Grove Well-Being Initiative
The GROVE Well-Being Initiative is assessing the overall health and well-being of the current campus environment.
Your well-being is important.
About the Grove Initiative
Key themes of the initiative have been identified as G•R•O•V•E: Growth, Resilience, Outreach, Validation and Empowerment. These themes will guide nearly 50 faculty, staff and students from across campus in their efforts to elevate the practice of meaningful wellness services, resources and programming across all components of wellness.
G•R•O•V•E stands for:
• Growth - Health and well-being involve growth and personal development.
• Resilience - Adapting to, coping with and recovering from difficult situations is crucial for health and well-being maintenance.
• Outreach - Reaching out to others for support can reduce feelings of isolation and positively impact health and well-being.
• Validation - Validating emotions and experiences is essential in health and well-being.
• Empowerment - Empowering people with knowledge, resources and tools allows them to make informed decisions and actively participate in their health and well-being journey.
