Mason’s Well-Being (WB) RLC is rooted in helping students explore well-being topics through a holistic approach to learn about individual well-being and discover how it is supported by, and supports, community well-being. This holistic approach includes traditional academic study, experiential learning, reflective learning, personal practices, and shared experiences. The WB RLC is strengths-based and values-guided and explores topics such as positive psychology, mindfulness, gratitude, curiosity, compassion, meaning, purpose, self-awareness, social connection, and stress management in ways that emphasize individualization and the well-being of the community.
