We want to understand how COVID-19 is affecting CU students and understand whether, and what types, of daily wellness strategies might buffer you from this stressor and help keep you well.

We will give you some examples of daily wellness strategies, but you get to choose what strategies you use and how long you spend on the strategies each day.听
