Mindful Balance: Student Support Group

Finding balance in the busy

Where: AB #223 – Scott South Conference Room + Online via Teams (hybrid)

What this is

A drop-in space to pause, reset, and connect with peers. Each session includes a short mindfulness practice, a guided prompt for reflection, and simple tools you can use right away – in school, clinic, and life. Come whenever it works for you; no ongoing commitment required.

Who it’s for

All NUNM students seeking practical strategies for balance, stress relief, and community support.

What to expect (each session)

  • 5–10 min grounding practice (breathwork, gentle movement, or guided meditation)
  • Brief theme to focus conversation (e.g., Boundaries that Protect Balance; Rest as Resistance)
  • Open discussion and take-home tools

How to join

  • In person: Room 223 (bring your lunch if you’d like).
  • Online: Join via Teams.
  • Dates: See Student Life calendar and weekly reminders for specific Wednesdays.
