New Wellness Room Launched for Graduate Students' Mental Health Support
October 7, 2025 - 12:02
Rutgers graduate students in the Master of Applied Psychology (MAP) program have taken a significant step in promoting mental well-being by opening the Wellness Room. This newly established space is designed specifically to cater to the mental health needs of graduate students, providing them with a supportive environment where they can focus on their emotional and psychological well-being.
The Wellness Room aims to address the unique challenges faced by graduate students, who often experience high levels of stress and pressure. By offering a dedicated area for relaxation and self-care, the MAP students hope to foster a sense of community and encourage open discussions about mental health. The room is equipped with resources such as stress-relief tools, comfortable seating, and informational materials on mental health topics.
This initiative highlights the importance of mental health awareness within academic settings and reflects the commitment of the MAP program to support their peers. The opening of the Wellness Room marks a positive step towards creating a healthier and more supportive atmosphere for all graduate students at Rutgers.
