Amid the hustle and bustle of college life, sometimes you just need a place to go to escape, relax and recharge.
That’s the idea behind SUNY Oneonta’s latest mental health and wellness initiative, “Zen Dens,” which offer students a much-needed break from the demands of college life. Identifying unused closet or lounge space in residence halls, the rooms have been repurposed and transformed into quiet, calming environment to unwind.
Calming lights and sounds, comfortable seating, coloring books, mental health resources, crafting supplies and journaling materials are all available in the spaces, which students can sign up to use for an hour at a time.
