Self-Care Video Series

INTRO:  Self-Care – A Campus Wide Approach: This brief video serves as the Introduction to the Self-Care series of brief videos for Oxford College, offering a perspective on how to promote self-care of students and address the challenge of stress that impacts the campus community, one that invites a different way of thinking of how we relate to ourselves....and those around us.  

Self Care – A Mindset of Balance: This is part of the Self-Care series of brief videos for Oxford College, with this video introducing a mindset that focuses on "balance" with particular attention to how to re-think the idea of "work-life" balance toward a more nuanced approach.  

Self Care – Relating to Time: This is part of the Self-Care series of brief videos for Oxford College, with this video introducing a mindset on how to relate to time, as this relates to stress and navigating the things that compromise self-care.    

Self-Care – Balancing Life Approaches (shifting from hyper-masculinity culture): Society often seems to prioritize certain life approaches over others, at the expense of our well-being. This video, part of our Self-Care series, reminds us of the importance of balancing the Masculine and Feminine, one particular framework of dualities that reflect life energies and life approaches. Take a look and see how much you tend to adhere to prevailing messages in your communities.  

Self Care – Competition Mindsets: This is part of a series on Self-Care for college students, encouraging students to explore how a competitive campus culture can impact well-being.

A Community Approach to Student Mental Health at Oxford College

The best resource on campus is actually you and your fellow students, working together to shift from more toxic norms to a way of approaching Life and College in a way where you support each other, learn from each other, lift each other up, and still achieve at the level that reflects who you are and what you have to offer.
