The Resilience Lab promotes well-being at the University of Washington through research, education and strategic programs and initiatives. We work to cultivate a compassionate community, where the holistic well-being of students, staff and faculty is engaged from awareness to action.
Our goals are:
- Support UW students in becoming change-makers on campus and in their communities;
- Provide students, staff, and instructors with training and tools to build their self-awareness, respond to stress more effectively and cultivate compassion;
- Advocate for policies and systemic changes that promote a more resilient, compassionate, and inclusive campus culture.
Well-being & COVID-19
The Resilience Lab is committed to serving the community during the COVID-19 pandemic, when uncertainty and anxiety has a heightened hold on the public. In our workplaces and learning spaces, we support and advocate for a person-centered approach – one that values the well-being of a diverse community with varied needs.
If you are interested in learning more about how to support the well-being of your staff and/or students, take a look at our Well-Being for Life & Learning Guidebook, which combines research, best practices, and personal testimony to aid in designing resilient learning environments. Additionally, the Be REAL program equips individuals with the skills to manage stress and strengthen self-awareness.
