The Student Health Center offers a variety of wellness programs and educational resources to support the health and wellbeing of our entire student community.
Self-Serve Wellness Resources
Wellness supplies and educational materials are available for students outside of the Student Health Center office, Room W405. This includes hand sanitizer, bandages, menstrual supplies, and male condoms.
21-Day Wellness Initiatives
The 21-Day Wellness Initiative empowers students to take meaningful steps toward better health and well-being. Through personalized one-on-one coaching, students receive guidance, support, and accountability as they work toward goals such as quitting smoking or vaping, practicing mindfulness, improving sleep, increasing physical activity, or building other healthy habits. Small daily actions can lead to lasting positive change. The program is confidential, free of charge, and open to all NYU Shanghai students.
