Health and Wellness

College is an exciting chapter — and a demanding one. At CSB+SJU, we want you to thrive in every part of your life, not just the classroom. Our Health and Wellness services are here to support your physical health, mental well-being, and everything in between, so you can show up as your best self every day.

From medical care and counseling to fitness resources and wellness programs, you’ll find the support you need — all on campus, and all designed with students in mind.

Counseling

Counseling focuses on enhancing the well-being of CSB+SJU students by promoting mental health, interpersonal relationships, and academic performance. Our work includes prevention, intervention, consultation, and referral services. We also provide consultation and training to the CSB and SJU community.

Health Promotion

Health Promotion identifies and confronts health-related issues facing our campus communities. We assist in developing healthy lifestyle choices and promoting behaviors that strengthen resilience and well-being. We focus on developing the whole person by offering creative, dynamic, evidence-based programs, services, resources, opportunities, and leadership.

Health Services

Health Services promotes the health and well-being of CSB+SJU students by providing high-quality primary care and preventative services. There are no charges for health care office visits. In addition, any labs, assessments, procedures, and medications facilitated on campus are provided at a low cost.

Faith & Spiritual Life

At CSB+SJU, faith isn’t something that happens only on Sunday — it’s woven into daily life on both campuses. Rooted in the Catholic Benedictine tradition, our community encourages students to explore their spirituality, ask big questions, and find meaning in both their studies and their relationships. Whether you’re deeply rooted in your faith or just beginning to explore, there’s a place for you here.

Fitness

Each of our campuses has a fitness center as well as a pool, tennis courts and track so both Bennies and Johnnies can work out when it’s most convenient for them. Personal trainers are available to create free individualized training programs. We also offer a full schedule of fitness classes like yoga, Pilates, cardio kickboxing and more.

Mental Health

Student well-being doesn’t happen by accident — it takes intention, investment, and a community that cares. That’s why CSB+SJU launched the Be Well initiative: a campus-wide effort to strengthen mental health support, build resilience, and help every student thrive. Through a partnership with the Jed Foundation and a data-driven plan built around student needs, we’re not just responding to the mental health challenges facing college students today — we’re getting ahead of them.
