Campus wellness pilot brief
Give one group of students a private place to reflect during a demanding part of the term. Pick one topic, set a short window, and agree on what to review.
Plan, invite, review
Choose the focus
Pick exam stress, adjusting to campus, or overload. Name a staff lead, choose a student group, and set start and review dates.
Invite students
Explain how to opt in, what stays private, and where to find campus support. Discuss Ella Circles if a small facilitated group fits.
Make a decision
Review agreed participation counts and voluntary feedback. Decide whether to repeat, adjust, or end the pilot.
What students use
Private guided reflection and structured check-ins. Students can use them alongside existing campus services.
What the campus can review
Agree on group-level reporting and how to protect privacy in small groups. Campuses do not receive private journal entries or conversation transcripts.
Bring one idea to the walkthrough
Start with a student group, a topic, or a week in the term you’d like to focus on.
For student wellness, counselling, and student affairs teams. The pilot supports reflection alongside campus services. It does not provide therapy, diagnosis, or crisis care.
