Description
In January 2022 we had the exciting opportunity to create a Wellness Room at HSLIC. First discussed in the library’s Justice, Equity, and Inclusion committee, the project received seed funding from HSLIC and the Wellness Room became fully operational in March 2022. With our funding, we purchased comfortable furniture, lighting and sound options, art supplies, sensory tools, a yoga mat, art by Chicanx and Indigenous creators, and a prayer rug. The target audience includes people with neurodiversities, students suffering from anxiety or stress, and anyone in need of a place to pray. We track student engagement with a simple survey left in the room, and the space has seen consistent utilization since opening. In this presentation, we discuss the entire process.
