Events And Programs
Time To Ungrind
FOR STUDENTSMonthly kickoff events and wellness challenges
School can feel like a grind. Time to Ungrind is a campaign that helps you slow down and take care of yourself while you work toward your goals. Rest and balance are not the opposite of doing well. They are part of it.
Each month we focus on one part of wellness. We picked the topics from what CU Anschutz students told us matters most in the Spring 2025 National College Health Assessment.
Come To The Monthly Kickoff
Every month starts with a free kickoff event on the Education 2 Skybridge from 12:00 to 1:00 PM. There is food, activities, and prizes. You will also find out what else is happening that month.
Take The Monthly Challenge
Each month has a challenge you can do on your own time. Some are habits you track yourself. Some are events you attend. Some are just learning what support is out there. Finish one or more, send in your entry form, and you are entered to win a $100 Amazon gift card or other prizes.
The BRIDGE Network
FOR STUDENTSA three-week program on building connection
Making friends in a health sciences program is harder than people admit. Everyone is busy, schedules do not line up, and a lot of students end up feeling alone even in a full building. The BRIDGE Network is how we are working on that together.
You join a small group of students from across CU Anschutz schools and programs. Your group meets for one hour a week for three weeks. Peer facilitators and trained staff lead the sessions. You will talk about why so many people feel lonely right now and what you can do about it. You will also build real skills for starting friendships, growing them, and keeping them.
Your group finishes the program with a meal together. Students who come to all three sessions and show strong leadership skills can train to become peer facilitators themselves.

The Office of Student Affairs adapted this program for CU Anschutz students using training and resources from Project Connect.
Opioid Overdose Response Training
FOR STUDENTSLearn to recognize an overdose and give naloxone (Narcan)
An opioid overdose can happen to anyone, and the people nearby are usually the ones who can help first. Naloxone, often called Narcan, can reverse an opioid overdose. It is safe, it is simple to give, and you do not need any medical training to use it.
In this free training you will learn how to tell when someone is overdosing, how to give naloxone, and what to do next. Student Health Promotion offers these trainings throughout the year. Each class is capped at 25 people, so sign up early.

Wellness Advocate Trainings
FOR FACULTY AND STAFFA workshop series on supporting student wellness
Students bring hard things to the people they trust, and that is often a faculty or staff member rather than a counselor. This series gives you tools for those moments.
Each workshop covers one topic students commonly face. You will learn what gets in the way of students asking for help, how to talk about the topic without adding to the stigma, and which campus resources to point them toward.
Take the workshops in any order. Pick the topics, dates, and times that fit your schedule. Finish all of them and a certificate of completion goes in your HR file.
Topics In The Series
- Supporting Students In Distress
- Supporting Students With Escalated Mental Health Concerns
- Supporting Student Mental Health
- Supporting Students With Disabilities
- Supporting Active Military And Veteran Students
