The Task Force found that Penn does indeed offer a broad range of
resources and programs that provide education, outreach, intervention,
and treatment, including Counseling and Psychological Services, Student
Health Service, Student Intervention Services, Office of the Chaplain,
College Houses and Academic Services, Graduate Student Center,
undergraduate and graduate department chairs, student affairs professionals
in each of the 12 schools, the cultural resource centers, and dozens of
peer-health focused student groups. A wide array of issues ranging from
self-care, mindfulness/meditation, and psychoeducation to developmental
issues like stigma reduction, managing competitiveness, and learning to
help others in distress are addressed through these efforts. The Division of
Recreation and Intercollegiate Athletics offers stress reduction programming
that ranges from massages to exercise and fitness programs that fo- cus on the mind/body connection.
