• Well-Being at Hendrix

    At Hendrix, we take well-being seriously. In addition to providing a transformative educational experience, we want to help you build important life skills that will allow you to care for yourself and others as you navigate life's slings and arrows.

  • What is Well-Being?

    Well-being refers to feelings of satisfaction and engagement with life, personal fulfillment, and resilience. At Hendrix, we are making well-being an institutional priority by continually building upon our existing programming to make Hendrix a place where everyone can thrive.

The Initiative launched in August 2017 and is gearing up for its second phase. Stay tuned for more information and reach out to Dr. Lindsay Kennedy ( kennedy@hendrix.edu ) to share programming ideas and suggestions.

  • Mental Health First Aid

    At Hendrix, every member of our Residence Life staff is trained in Mental Health First Aid, a course designed to help individuals recognize mental health warning signs in others and provide assistance in crisis and non-crisis situations. Over the next few years, we will be working hard to expand this training and other gatekeeper mental health trainings across campus.
