Welcome to UB! The purpose of this video is to tell you about student wellness.

2
00:00:09,060 --> 00:00:14,100
Student wellness is made up of counseling services, health services and the Health Promotion Office.

3
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,989
Student Wellness is mission is to facilitate the well-being and success of the

4
00:00:18,990 --> 00:00:23,430
University of Buffalo's diverse student body by providing quality medical,

5
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:27,450
mental health prevention and health promotion programs and services.

6
00:00:30,420 --> 00:00:34,860
This is a graphic depiction of our service model. It is called the step care model.

7
00:00:35,370 --> 00:00:42,090
Step care focuses on fitting the wellness intervention to the students need and willingness to commit to a particular course of action.

8
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,440
It is based on the premise that assessment of needs should be done in a timely fashion.

9
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:54,030
Different people require different levels of care or intervention, and finding the right level of care often depends on monitoring outcomes.

10
00:00:54,810 --> 00:01:00,510
Students might move from lower to higher levels of care, or vice versa as needed on a college campus.

11
00:01:01,140 --> 00:01:07,320
Care may come in the form of developing health, promoting behaviors, prevention of illness or clinical intervention.

12
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,270
The interventions may be provided by licensed mental health or medical professionals.

13
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:17,370
They may be self-directed or more population based or campus based intervention.

14
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:23,160
Lower intensity interventions might be developing a fitness plan following a fitness assessment.

15
00:01:23,460 --> 00:01:28,020
Participating in intramural sports or learning alcohol harm reduction strategies.

16
00:01:28,620 --> 00:01:32,549
High intensity interventions might be meeting with a medical professional to manage

17
00:01:32,550 --> 00:01:37,260
diabetes or being treated for anxiety or depression by a mental health professional.

18
00:01:37,950 --> 00:01:44,280
Students receiving high intensity interventions may shift down to a lower level of intervention when their symptoms are better managed.

19
00:01:44,730 --> 00:01:54,430
And the goal is maintenance of health. Counseling Services offers same day assessment and crisis intervention,

20

22

23
00:02:09,460 --> 00:02:14,080
as well as weekly counseling groups that focus on specific issues such as reducing anxiety,

24
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,640

Health promotion focuses on four different topics of health education.

28
00:02:43,750 --> 00:02:48,190
The first one is healthy eating, which encourages balanced, healthy eating that you be.

29
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:55,960
Then there's sexual violence prevention, which promotes healthy relationships for a safe and respectful community, and then stress reduction,
