Latin pop quiz… can you translate Cura Personalis?  If you came up with “care for the whole person”, you win!  Cura Personalis highlights that a hallmark of Jesuit education is the individual, holistic care for students and all aspects of their being.

At Gonzaga, we are blessed to have an entire center that focuses on this.  The Center for Cura Personalis staff focus on holistic care in many ways, including providing information and strategies to help students live a balanced lifestyle and having dedicated support for students who may be struggling. Below you will find a little bit more about the functional areas within the CCP.

• Case Management, supports students who may be struggling by connecting them to resources and helping them develop coping skills, resiliency, and self-advocacy. When students are confused or struggling, our case managers are a great place to start.

• Collegiate Recovery Community, a supportive environment to promote healing and on-going sobriety for students in recovery or at risk for substance use disorders.  This includes a physical space to spend time in, planned activities, events, meetings and more!

• Wellness and Prevention Education, provides wellness education to help students live a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Areas of focused attention include mental wellness and health, suicide prevention, sleep, alcohol, and healthy relationships.  We are also in the process of rolling out our Zags Help Zags campaign focused on how everyone can help others live safer and healthier by simply being an active bystander!
