One of UCF Counseling and Psychology Services\u2019 newest strategies in helping students alleviate anxiety and depression can be found on a 4\u00bd-by-5\u00bd-inch slip of paper.<\/p>\n
Recently, CAPS mental health clinicians began carrying a \u201cprescription\u201d pad for gardening at the on-campus Arboretum. The department took a beat from Student Health Services\u2019 \u201cFARMacy\u201d program, which launched last fall.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want students thinking about their own wellness, health and self-care.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Associate director Teresa Michaelson, who helped foster the partnership, says it is part of a larger initiative to identify spaces on campus where students can engage in a peaceful environment through activities such as mindfulness, mediation, quality social interaction with a friend or outdoor hobbies, just like gardening.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want students thinking about their own wellness, health and self-care, and that\u2019s why we\u2019re calling this \u2018Thrive with CAPS,\u2019 \u201d she says. \u201cInstead of focusing on, \u2018I\u2019m depressed and sad all the time,\u2019 let\u2019s shift it to, \u2018I\u2019m struggling right now, so I need to take extra steps to care for myself. What are some things I can do to help me feel better?\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n
After rolling out the idea at a meeting in September, one of the CAPS staff members used a script that day with a student.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur clinician shared that the student was incredibly excited. The student had never thought about it as an opportunity to go out and be involved,\u201d Michaelson says. \u201cWhen she got the slip, it felt all official. Like she could go to the Arboretum and say, \u2018I\u2019m here!\u2019 It helped legitimize the concept.\u201d<\/p>\nAny UCF students, faculty and staff can volunteer at the Arboretum. Shifts are offered twice a day Monday\u2013Thursday as well as Friday mornings.

\u201cThere\u2019s something inherent in connecting with nature,\u201d he says. \u201cIt taps your senses in different ways from seeing the greenery and expansive views, and allows you to get away from the hectic campus life to a more calming atmosphere. You might hear some nature sounds, smell the fresh air, feel the sun and the warmth on your skin. It taps into a lot of your senses, which contributes to a sense of calmness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, the act of volunteering itself enhances those positive feelings. The community garden supplies produce to the Knights Helping Knights Pantry, where students in need can pick up some for themselves for free.<\/p>\n
Arboretum coordinator Kelsie Johnson \u201916<\/strong> says the staff helps guide and teach volunteers through the steps of maintaining the community garden, and anyone within the community is welcomed and encouraged to sign up for a 2-hour morning or afternoon volunteer shift.<\/p>\n\u201cWe get a couple hundred volunteers every semester, and we offer all of them the chance to provide feedback through our volunteer log. We have many students who tell us after a shift that they\u2019ve had fun and relieved stress,\u201d Johnson says.<\/p>\nData from the 2016-17 CAPS annual report (2017-18 has yet to be released at time of this article’s publication).<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWays to Live a Better Life<\/h2>\n CAPS is the only free-of-charge campus agency designated to provide comprehensive psychological services to university-enrolled students.<\/p>\n
Thee department continually sees an increase year to year in the numbers of students served and appointments provided.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s difficult to pinpoint what\u2019s causing the increase of stress and anxiety among students \u2014 \u201cthat\u2019s the million-dollar question,\u201d Michaelson says \u2014 but they\u2019re hoping the Thrive with CAPS movement will help provide viable, pre-emptive strategies for healthier coping.<\/p>\n
In addition to the Thrive prescription, Marks created a flyer with nearly 100 suggestions for ways to enrich one\u2019s life, take care of one\u2019s body and live efficiently. The list includes examples ranging from developing a personal mission statement to deep breathing exercises to arriving to school early.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Thrive concept is a non-stigmatizing way of approaching mental wellness,\u201d Michaelson says. \u201cWe\u2019re wanting you to engage in wellness behaviors not because you\u2019re depressed or anxious, but because this is how you live a better life and learn to better cope with life\u2019s challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
