How Are You—Really?

"How Are You?" is more than a greeting. It's a check-in that lets people know you care.

Instead of answering, "I'm good, how are you?", what would happen if we all gave honest responses, and really listened to each other's answers?

Wildcats, check in with yourselves and each other. Reach out for support when you need it.

New! PROGAM FOR STUDENTS:

How Are You — Really?  

“How are you” is more than a greeting. It’s a check-in that lets people know you care. And, when you respond to the greeting, it’s a way for you to check-in with yourself and authentically share what you’re experiencing.  

As part of the How are you — really? campaign, we’ve created an educational program to help students better understand and care for their emotional wellness and mental health. As a result of this program, students will be able to... 

• Explain the differences and symptoms between stress, anxiety, and depression;  
• Utilize the Mood Meter as an emotional wellness check-in tool to name their mood;  
• Utilize the Mental Health Continuum (MHC) as a tool to access their mental health status to determine if they are content, okay, struggling, or distressed;  
• Identify and use inner resources and campus resources to support their mental health wherever they are on the MHC.  

This program is 50 minutes and is presented by staff or student facilitators from Health & Wellness and/or Psychological and Counseling Services (PACS). Opportunities for knowledge attainment, self-reflection, group processing, and skill building are provided.
