Self-Care
Self-care, maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle, has been found to improve productivity as well as physical and emotional health. There are many benefits to practicing self-care. We offer individual and group sessions to students that can help you create or evaluate your self-care routine, as well as make an action-based plan to achieve your academic and personal goals.
Dog Therapy
Bard College has partnered with Hudson Valley Paws for a Cause to provide training for our Therapy Dog program. Keep an eye out for events throughout the semester, especially during midterms and finals, and come say hi to our canine team!

- The benefits of activities like eating a well-balanced diet, drinking water, regular stretching and exercise
- Alcohol and drug harm reduction
