Campus Wellness
Universities are currently grappling with urgent challenges related to student engagement in the classroom, exacerbated by social anxiety, other mental health hurdles, and a disturbing rise in suicides (Ward & Wong, 2024).
Level Up Strategies specializes in providing campus-based wellbeing solutions that, when adopted by the university, can lead to significant improvements in student, staff and faculty wellbeing.
How we can help
Our unique ecological-based approach (Farr, 2024), a departure from traditional policy-based methods, engages with the abundant natural resources present on the university campus. This innovative approach regards the natural elements on campus as a unique and diverse form of medicine (Forster, 2022) and a significant asset in cultivating wellbeing on campus.
Most academic institutions have vast grounds not utilized to their full regenerative potential, especially concerning mental health and wellbeing. This is a pressing issue, as student health challenges are mounting and the potential benefits of these spaces are not being fully realized. While they focus on biodiversity and ecological restoration (uOttawa, 2024), linking these spaces to wellbeing is notably absent.
Engaging with existing nature-based assets allows Level Up Strategies and partner universities to build something extraordinary: a customized framework with clear pathways to incorporating wellbeing into the ethos and rhythm of campus life rather than viewing wellness and mental health programs as appendages that get grafted outside of core activities.
