Self-Care Spaces
Sometimes students need a space to take a moment to regroup and return to life. Other times, a nice chair massage is just the thing you need to make your day better. The Counseling Center offers a variety of diverse spaces to help students decompress, relax, and care for themselves amidst the stress of college. These spaces are open to all students, not just those utilizing Counseling Center services. Call the Counseling Center at (920) 424-2061 or stop in to check availability or schedule time in advance.

Calm Room
Known for the massage chair, this room offers various tools to help students decompress and relax. There is also a sand tray, various books on mindfulness and stress management, and other tools to help students find what makes them feel calm.
Create Room
Some people find artistic expression as a great way to help themselves be in the present moment and forget about stress for a little bit. Our create room gives students a variety of mediums to express themselves artistically including watercolors, markers, gel pens, coloring books, and even some crafting supplies.
Comfort Room
Sometimes having too much light, sound, or stimulation is what causes people to feel overwhelmed or on-edge. The comfort room offers a space with less lighting and plenty of different fidgety and sensory objects that can help you to quiet what may be causing stress. Sensory objects include a lap-sized weighted blanket, noise-cancelling headphones, and a variety of fidgets with different textures to name a few.
Just Breathe Room
Our Just Breathe room is the perfect place to do just that; breathe. With a simpler and less-intensive massage chair, as well as the bean bag chair, this room creates a comforting environment where students can catch their breathe and do what they need to do to help themselves relax.
Quiet Study Spaces
While many places on campus offer quiet areas for students to study, we want to be one more option for students. These cubicles come with a few basic office supplies in an area of the center that is genuinely quieter. If there are other things needed for you to be successful, don’t hesitate to let us know.
