Student health comprises more than just physical aspects. The number of students enrolled in counseling centers throughout the nation has increased by 30%, but enrollment in general admissions for colleges has only gone up by 6% according to a 2015 report by the Center for Collegiate Mental Health.
BYU Student Wellness has decided to intervene with student mental health declines and now provides events to educate the student body on the six sides of the wellness hexagon.
According to Tanner Skabelund, team leader of BYU Student Wellness, the six sides of the wellness hexagon are physical, financial, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual.
