Staying Healthy and Sharp
Fall is a beautiful time on the North Coast, but it also means longer nights, colder weather, and the beginning of cold and flu season. It’s also a time when your student’s classes become more rigorous. Here are some ways to help your student stay healthy, mentally and physically, so they can succeed.
Advise your student to visit HSU’s Wellbeing Map. Developed by campus Student Health & Wellbeing Services, this interactive tool helps students identify health issues and find the proper resources to guide them toward health. While students need an HSU login to use the
Wellbeing Map, you can read more about it on the
Parent & Family section of the site.
This fall, HSU will offer free flu vaccines for students at three on-campus flu clinics, Wednesday, Oct. 16, Tuesday, Oct. 22 and Monday, Nov. 18.
See details about the vaccine clinics here.
Studies show that a lack of sleep can hurt students in many ways, including lowering GPAs. The impact can be as severe or worse than the use of alcohol or drugs. Encourage your student to practice healthy sleeping habits, getting seven to nine hours per night.
University “Skillshops” are free, hour-long classes that offer professional and academic advice, as well as health-related topics like sleep and healthy study habits, and stress management. Point your student toward these options at
libguides.humboldt.edu/skillshops.
Student Health & Wellbeing Services offers a variety of medical and mental health services on its campus clinic. Encourage your student to reach out and utilize these services, which are mostly free or low-cost. Clinic staff members are welcoming and dedicated to students’ overall wellbeing.
