(4 Mar) Embedding Holistic Wellbeing into the Fabric of the University

What does it look like when a population health approach is adopted on campus? At the Singapore Management University, the SMU Resilience Framework has been adopted to promote students’ holistic wellbeing. Resilience has been shown to be positively correlated with positive indicators of mental health, such as life satisfaction and subjective well-being.

The SMU Resilience Framework redefines the landscape of student wellbeing. By shifting upstream from intervention to cultivation, SMU equips students with life-skills that empower them to take ownership of their holistic and life-long wellbeing. This session unpacks how the framework has been implemented by integrating purposeful outreach, innovative programming, and collaborative partnerships both within and beyond campus.

Join us to discover how a culture of care is embedded into campus life, where we help students find their footing to succeed, engendering pathways to a life of flourishing. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of the movement toward holistic student wellbeing!
