[00:00:06.380]Welcome to another episode of stretching your strengths and CEHS. I'm Dr.
[00:00:10.220]Paul Springer,
[00:00:11.000]the Associate Dean for Student Success in the College of Education and Human
[00:00:14.480]Sciences. Today, we're going to be meeting with Emma Farson,
[00:00:18.410]who is one of the well-being coaches on the UNL campus.
[00:00:22.700]Now some of you may not know what a well-being coaches, but is.
[00:00:25.910]It is an amazing resource for students. And so, Emma,
[00:00:29.750]thanks for joining us today.
[00:00:32.220]Thank you for having me. So Emma,
[00:00:33.920]why don't we get started. What is a well-being coach?
[00:00:37.700]Yes. Well-being
[00:00:38.720]coaches are student volunteers who help other students on campus thrive
[00:00:43.700]and create the life that they want to live both now and in the future.
[00:00:47.630]And we promote the nine dimensions of wellbeing to provide a framework for
[00:00:51.200]exploration and balance, emphasizing gratitude, social connection,
[00:00:54.980]stress management, emotional awareness, strength building, growth mindsets,
[00:00:59.030]and transitions.
[00:01:00.410]So it sounds like this is a resource for students when they may be struggling,
[00:01:04.370]maybe homesick or maybe struggling with time management or any,
[00:01:09.230]any type of issues.
[00:01:10.520]So how can students access help from a well-being coach?
[00:01:14.660]Yeah, there's a couple of ways to access health.
[00:01:17.000]The first is to log into MyPLAN and you can schedule an appointment there.
[00:01:21.140]The second is to get onto the UNL Big Red Resilience and Well-Being website.
[00:01:25.070]And there's a link on the website.
[00:01:26.510]That'll take you to MyPLAN and also give you a synopsis of all of the coaches
[00:01:30.560]who are offering services to find the best fit for you. And the third way,
[00:01:34.370]which is new this year is on canvas.
[00:01:36.710]There's a button at the bottom left-hand corner that says wellbeing,
[00:01:40.310]and it'll also link you to that website with the option to schedule.
[00:01:44.720]Wow. So there's a lot of different ways that students can reach out. So
[00:01:49.610]how have you seen working with students regardless of the issues?
[00:01:54.590]How have you seen it help them?
[00:01:56.990]Yeah, I've seen it help them from start to finish just with academics,
[00:02:01.610]doing better in classes, and feeling less homesick
[00:02:06.950]especially with out-of-state students or even international students,
[00:02:11.660]but I've also seen it help with physical and even emotional wellbeing and even
[00:02:15.800]with roommate struggles.
[00:02:17.570]Oh, excellent. So how frequently can people meet with you?
[00:02:21.440]They can meet with us as frequently as they want.
[00:02:23.750]I often have students who meet with me twice a month,
[00:02:27.050]but I have had students who've only met with me once and I've had students
[00:02:30.620]who've met with me every week.
[00:02:32.630]Oh, excellent. So it's kind of catered to what the student needs then?
[00:02:36.440]Yes. It's more of a case by case basis.
[00:02:38.960]Excellent. So I guess where are you located?
[00:02:43.280]And how are you typically providing services?
[00:02:47.060]Yeah, so we are located in the University's Health Center and
[00:02:52.670]with the spring semester and Corona virus,
[00:02:54.830]we're currently doing remote services on zoom,
[00:02:57.440]but in the future we're hoping to do more in-person services.
[00:02:59.980]Okay, excellent.
[00:03:02.530]So it sounds like this is an excellent resource for students throughout the UNL
[00:03:06.640]campus, and I really hope that our students in CEHS will utilize it.
[00:03:11.910]Really appreciate your time. Thank you for having me. Yeah. Thank you so much.
[00:03:16.170]We really appreciate it.
