Wellness

Wellness is about more than just eating right or staying active. At UNLV, we focus on supporting the whole person—encouraging not just physical health, but also mental and social well-being.

The Dimensions of Wellness

UNLV is committed to creating an environment where students, faculty, and
staff can thrive. We support the eight dimensions of wellness, a widely-adopted
framework used by colleges and universities to promote holistic well-being.

Emotional Wellness

Our counseling, mental health education, and wellness programs promote resilience and emotional well-being.

Financial Wellness

UNLV helps students, faculty, and staff build financial confidence by offering resources to support budgeting, financial planning, and financial literacy.

Physical Wellness

Healthy lifestyles are encouraged through access to recreation and fitness opportunities, nutrition education, preventive health services, and healthcare resources.

Intellectual Wellness

Through academic programs, research opportunities, and enriching campus experiences, the university encourages continuous personal and professional growth.

Occupational Wellness

UNLV supports occupational wellness by helping individuals find purpose and fulfillment in their academic, career, and professional pursuits.

Social Wellness

Student organizations, events, and volunteer opportunities help strengthen support networks and create opportunities to build relationships, develop a sense of belonging, and engage with the campus and community.

Environmental Wellness

The university encourages awareness of how our surroundings influence health and well-being, while promoting responsible stewardship of campus resources and providing sustainable learning and working environments.

Spiritual Wellness

UNLV supports individuals in exploring their beliefs, values, and ethics while fostering an inclusive community that respects diverse perspectives and traditions.
