Wellness Education and Coaching

Health and Wellness Coaching

Want to improve or maintain your health or wellness? Request an Appointment to meet with one of our staff to develop an individualized strategy that works for you.

You will typically meet 2-5 times to discuss where you are at, develop goals for self-directed lifestyle behavior change, learn skills and discover resources, and follow up on your progress. We often meet with students about:

• Sleep
• Physical activity
• Weight management
• Nutrition
• Stress and time management
• Smoking cessation
• Alcohol and marijuana use
• Sexual health

Depending on your goals, an appointment may be scheduled with our health educator, personal trainer, certified dietitian, or a referral may be made to a partner office on campus.

Making Healthy Choices (BASICS and CASICS)

Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students (BASICS) is an evidence-based educational program aimed at addressing problematic alcohol use.  Adapted from BASICS, the Cannabis Screening and Intervention for College Students (CASICS) applies a similar evidence-based approach to help students with problematic cannabis use.  Students interested in making healthier choices or reducing their alcohol or cannabis use can contact wellness@luther.edu for more information.

eCHECKUP TO GO

Developed by psychologists at San Diego State University, the eCHECKUP TO GO programs are personalized, evidence-based online interventions designed to motivate users to make positive changes and improve overall well-being and mental health, particularly regarding alcohol and cannabis use.
