Live Well at Tulane
Live Well at Tulane is an initiative of Campus Health to connect students with the knowledge, skills, and resources to make choices that support their physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being. Recognizing the strong relationship between a student’s personal health and their academic success, the goal of Live Well at Tulane is to help our students achieve their full potential and to improve the overall health of the Tulane Community.
Campus Health is a nationally recognized Healthy Campus Partner. As such, we will measure our efforts, initiatives, and services against the goals and objectives set by the Healthy Campus 2020 framework developed by American College Health Association (ACHA).
Campus Health embraces a holistic approach to health education and services, focusing on the following areas:
- Health Communication and Literacy
- Injury and Violence Prevention
- Mental Health
- Nutrition
- Sexual Health
- Alcohol and Other Drugs
- Tobacco
- Immunization
