Mental heath and wellness support
If your mental health concerns and/or stressful events negatively affect your daily emotional state, academic performance, or ability to participate in your daily activities, many resources are available to you, including ones listed below. Duke encourages all students to access these resources, particularly as we navigate the transition and emotions associated with this time. Duke Student Government has worked with DukeReach and student advocates to create the Fall 2020 “Two-Click Support” Form, and Duke Reach has expanded its drop in hours as well.

Wellness day 2021
In lieu of a traditional class meeting on April 12, please use our regular class time to engage in reflection and wellness endeavors. A list of wellness strategies and programs is available at studentaffairs.duke.edu/duwell/wellness-day-2021 and will be updated throughout the spring.
Although the goal of Wellness Day 2021 is to provide time and space to engage in activities that enhance your well-being, please remember that wellness isn’t achieved in one day. Balancing your personal, professional, and academic commitments is a skill that should be practiced regularly and over time.
