Student involvement in developing campus wellness resources significantly improves their effectiveness. Co-creating a dedicated graduate student wellness space ensured it met diverse needs for relaxation and resources.
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Higher Education
- Public Health
Background:
- Graduate students face unique wellness challenges.
- Existing campus wellness resources may not fully address graduate student needs.
- A collaborative approach is essential for developing effective student support.
Purpose of the Study:
- To outline a collaborative initiative enhancing campus wellness resources through direct student involvement.
- To co-develop a dedicated wellness space for graduate students.
- To ensure wellness resources are relevant, effective, and accessible.
Main Methods:
- A Wellness Lab team, including faculty, staff, and students, utilized a co-developed approach.
- Graduate students (n=65) were surveyed to identify preferences for a wellness space.
- A co-production model emphasizing shared decision-making was followed.
Main Results:
- Most graduate students desired a quiet space for relaxation between classes.
- Key preferences included comfortable seating and accessible wellness resources.
- The developed space was designed to be culturally relevant and accessible.
Conclusions:
- Direct student involvement is crucial for creating effective campus wellness resources.
- A co-production model ensures student needs and preferences are met.
- Collaborative initiatives can enhance the relevance and daily use of wellness spaces.
