A STRATEGIC APPROACH TO GEORGIA TECH HEALTH AND WELL-BEING The Office of Health & Well-Being (HWB) was established in 2015 after two campuswide task forces, Mental Health and Sexual Violence, determined an Institute-wide approach was necessary to create a safer and healthier campus.

HWB is charged with maximizing Georgia Tech’s already strong and effective programs to align opportunities for well-being, mental health, alcohol and drug education, and sexual violence prevention through a coordinated and integrated upstream approach.

This approach allows us to promote, nurture, and enrich a community of health, well-being, and caring so students, faculty, and staff can flourish and be fulfilled emotionally, physically, professionally, socially, and spiritually.

Georgia Tech’s health and well-being strategy model.

STR ATEGIC GOA LS

Goal 1: Georgia Tech will use a consistent and integrated voice to promote, nurture, and enrich a community of health, well-being, and caring.

Goal 2: Promote, nurture, and enrich a culture of health, well-being, and caring using an integrated and collaborative upstream approach.
