Objective:
This paper outlines a collaborative initiative, showcasing how direct student involvement can enhance the relevance and effectiveness of wellness resources on college campuses.
Participants:
Participants were graduate students in a Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology program.
Methods:
Recognizing the unique set of wellness challenges faced by graduate students, a Wellness Lab team of faculty, staff and students used a co-developed approach to create a dedicated wellness space specifically for graduate students. The team surveyed graduate students (n = 65) to gather input on their preferences for a wellness space.
Results:
Most graduate students desired a quiet space that could be used before or in between classes for relaxation, with comfortable seating and wellness resources.
Conclusions:
The study team followed a co-production model emphasizing shared decision-making, with graduate students as active co-creators. Their involvement ensured the wellness space was culturally relevant and accessible to students for daily use.
