Wellness isn't one-size-fits-all. FIND YOUR STEP.
Our WELLNESS MAP, a whole-campus initiative guided by Catholic Christian Anthropology for the dignity of the whole person, is an adaptable sequential model that prioritizes the support of all students, not just those at the forefront. This model is not a clinical panacea or a trademarked cure-all program. It offers instead pathways towards wellness, utilizing a variety of resources, ensuring that everyone can meet their unique needs.
If you have any needs or questions, please get in touch with us at counseling@udallas.edu.

The University of Dallas constantly seeks ways to prepare students for life, work, and society in a problematic, changing, and challenging world. UD has a pathway for every student.
The WELLNESS MAP is a collaborative approach to thinking and connecting in a community. The model provides support and encouragement, addresses needs, and allows us to help each other thrive. From Step 01 to Step 08, the model moves from proactive measures to more acute interventions, from autonomous activities towards increasing interventions, and from public wellness to more specialized individual care. Understanding the steps empowers students, families, faculty, and staff to empathetically and effectively map students through hardships toward a flourishing life.
FIND YOUR STEP. Wellness is not one-size-fits-all. Your path may be something other than 1 through 8. You may need to jump in straight to number 7 or number 3. Maybe you’re good on 2 and 4, and don’t really need 5, but need more help with 3… the idea here is to get you to where it would be most helpful for you to be.
In a campus setting, a full-spectrum wellness model can help address issues related to access. It can also address stigma by recruiting the entire community to encourage healthy options for individuals. Individuals who may not have sought traditional mental health services can more easily access support with various services, resources, and campus and community connections. All students may feel more comfortable accessing care at a level that is appropriate for their specific individual needs. Our Wellness Mapping Steps are designed to address the strain on mental health resources by providing a more efficient use of resources. By offering lower-intensity interventions as a first step, we can reduce the demand for more intensive services, allowing mental health professionals to focus their efforts on those who need them most. This approach ensures that every resource is utilized effectively, instilling confidence in the model's effectiveness.
