Wellness Guide

Part of being an efficient researcher, student, employee, or practitioner is knowing when to take a break or a breather. Understanding how to build wellness into your work is important for your own well being but it is also vital to know that this work should not be yours alone. While systems and structures in our society should be changed to accommodate a more robust work/life balance, we still want to make sure you have resources to help assist you in finding some harmony.
