Resilience Lab

Promoting well-being at the UW

Founded in 2015, the Resilience Lab promotes well-being at the University of Washington through research, education, and strategic programs and initiatives. We cultivate a compassionate community where the holistic well-being of students, staff and faculty is engaged from awareness to action.

Our goals are to:

  • Provide students, staff and instructors with training and tools to build their self-awareness, respond to stress more effectively and cultivate compassion.
  • Develop learning environments that promote well-being, belongingness and flourishing.
  • Advocate for systemic and structural changes that promote a more resilient, compassionate and inclusive campus culture.
  • Support UW students in becoming change-makers on campus and in their communities.
