University Counseling Services wants to support your pursuit of wellness.
Wellness is about becoming aware and taking an active process to promote emotional, physical, social, sexual, intellectual, financial, occupational, environmental, multicultural and spiritual wellness.
The World Health Organization defines Wellness as “…a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
The National Wellness Institute defines Wellness as “a conscious, self-directed and evolving process of achieving full potential.”
Wellness is Holistic, as all dimensions of wellness impact each other.
Below are some frequently recommended resources for supporting your mental health and pursuit of wellness. You can effectively access and use any of these tools or resources on your own. These resources are for informational purposes only and are not meant to substitute for mental health counseling.
If you are working with one of our counselors, they may suggest you access one or more of these tools or resources as a part of your therapeutic work together, as well.
Recommended apps and/or web-based interactive tools:
ScreenU: Free online, confidential self-screening tools to examine your habits related to alcohol, marijuana or other prescription drug use.
SliverCloud: Free online mental health tool available to all University of Maine system students. It covers many topics a college or graduate student might want to explore, including anxiety, depression, stress, resilience, sleep and even the effects of the pandemic.
CBT Downloadable Worksheets: Free online downloadable Cognitive Behavior Therapy worksheets, with resources about common thought distortions. Learning to examine and change the way you think about feelings and events in your life can be helpful in relieving stress, anxiety, depression, etc.
DBT Self-Help: Free online dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills and tools available for self-guided use (or at the advice of a counselor). These are especially helpful for developing healthy relationships, managing strong emotions and lowering reactivity when stressed.
