The Wellness Resource Center is Temple University’s health promotion office, focused on helping the campus community understand wellness and ways to flourish.

We are a team of dedicated professionals and Certified Peer Educators who work to promote well-being and create connectedness through a variety of programming and services. Our guiding vision is to ensure Temple students feel empowered to make decisions that enable them to thrive. We do this by offering intentional learning opportunities around four areas: alcohol and other drug prevention, interpersonal violence prevention, mental well-being promotion, and sexual health education.

With these topics as a guide, the Wellness Resource Center cultivates community in a number of ways:

• Campus-wide events to raise awareness and connect students to resources.

• Developing student leaders through our HEART Peer Educator program. • Encouraging dialogue and positive change through peer educator-led presentations. • In-office services, including individual wellness consultations and referrals, safer sex supplies sales, and free HIV testing.

The WRC team believes well-being is influenced by many different factors in a person’s life experience and environment. By offering students accurate information through creative and innovative programs, we hope each person has the ability to make choices that can bring them closer to balance.
