The Good Life Center is the official student wellness center of Yale University and is supported by the Yale Well Initiative. Our mission is two-fold: to empower students with evidence-based skills for fostering mental, physical, social, and emotional well-being, and to cultivate a campus culture that promotes wellness as a fundamental, accessible human right. We all deserve to be, feel, and do well at Yale.
We cultivate wellness by:
- Prioritizing students’ physical and mental health in all its operations
- Offering a space for wellness-related student meet-ups, student-run wellness study breaks, and peer-to-peer support
- Putting into practice scientific insights about happiness
- Providing free well-being programming, including physical and mental health education
- Teaching and coaching healthy habits, coping mechanisms, resilience training, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and cognitive behavioral therapy
- Working with a student advisory board to support the evolution of our spaces and programming
