Hello!! I'm Alexis Donato, the Department Chair over in the Mental Health & Wellness
Center (MHWC) here at 17勛圖. I wear a few hats, and all of them support
student mental health and wellbeing. I am currently teaching CNSL 72 Stress Wellness
and Coping. Additionally, I provide individual counseling services at the Mental Health
and Wellness Center. I am also the Wellness Lounge Coordinator.
In the MHWC, I help students manage stress, explore family relationships, and talk
about things that are maybe really hard to talk about with friends and family. There
is no problem too big or too small!
If you're a student, you are probably familiar with stress! You're at such a critical
time, and often in transition, which turns up the need to have solid self-care practices
in place. This can include self-compassion and resilience practices to help you through
all the challenges being a student holds. It's a balancing act with school, relationships,
work, exploring who you are, being comfortable in your skin, and planning the next
part of your journey whether is transferring or getting ready to work.
I help students explore this and more in personal counseling sessions and in my Stress
Wellness and Coping class. Personal growth is something everyone can benefit from.
