Health and Wellness Council

The IU Bloomington Health and Wellness Council was created in August 2021 to develop a holistic and preventive strategy for promoting and protecting IU Bloomington students’ health and wellness, to make recommendations for implementation of the strategy, to identify gaps in existing health and wellness programs, and to promote synergies among health and wellness programs.

The Council is seeking support from the IU Bloomington campus community to develop an in-depth, holistic resource guide of what health and wellness resources already exist. The development of this guide will serve as an incredible resource for our students and will allow us to figure out and identify gaps and innovative solutions.
