Welcome to Module 13

In this module, we will explore the many ways our health is impacted by our lifestyle choices and how these factors contribute to our college success. We will examine the impact that different elements of wellness can have on college success and how social and emotional intelligence impacts it. We will also describe actions we can take to improve our physical health, identify ways to maintain and enhance our emotional health, understand mental health risks and warning signs, articulate reasons and ways to maintain healthy relationships, and outline steps we can take to be more safety conscious. By the end of this module, we will be able to evaluate our own wellness and challenges or barriers that may be present, and understand how student success affects our own self-esteem.
