Cornell Health provides leadership for and collaborates with students groups and campus partners on the following popular initiatives. Let's Meditate and Body Positive Cornell are free and open to all, and are designed to help support the health and well-being of our campus community.
Well-being Coaching
Well-being Coaching is a free service available to Cornell undergraduate, graduate, and professional students to help them set and pursue their well-being goals.
Well-being coaches are trained to partner with students in one-on-one, evidence-based conversations structured around the changes they want to make in their lives. Coaches work to create a strengths-based and collaborative conversation space for students to self-identify ways to get unstuck, maximize their personal and professional potential, and become the best versions of themselves.

Let's Meditate
Let’s Meditate is a guided mindfulness meditation series sponsored by Cornell Health, in collaboration with numerous campus partners.
Half-hour Let's Meditate sessions are held daily Monday-Friday at various campus locations throughout the fall and spring semesters (and less frequently during University breaks).
Let's Meditate is free and open to all Cornell community members.

Nature Rx
Nature Rx @ Cornell is a campus-wide initiative, represented by many individuals from around the university who have come together with a shared passion for how connection with nature can support every Cornellians' well-being.
Nature Rx consists of three components:
- An oversight committee led by faculty, staff, and student members who manage the university's Nature Rx website that spotlights natural places on and near campus
- A student organization that leads weekly walks and other events designed to enable and encourage students to get out in nature
- The clinical application of Nature Rx by medical and mental health providers at Cornell Health
