NYU RADical Health is a pioneering program designed to revolutionize the way students approach their wellbeing and professional development. The program's radical commitment to participants' holistic growth sets it apart in academia. Our team worked with NYU to strategize, design, and implement the program.
RADical Health spans four in-person sessions, each delving into crucial aspects of personal and professional development: Emotional Intelligence, Principles & Priorities, Resilience, and Creating Positive Outcomes. These sessions form a comprehensive curriculum designed to equip participants with practical skills and certifications to bolster their resumes.
“It’s surprisingly hard to be a competent, functioning human being in this day and age. RH helps you out in that department. And it forces you to recover the social skills you probably lost after the pandemic. It’s a win-win situation.”
RADical Health isn't just a course; it's an immersive experience that fosters connections among peers. It combines inspirational content, resources, and interactive discussions within small cohorts, promoting mindfulness, active listening, self-care, time management, and other vital skills essential for academic and career success.
Participants undergo a transformative journey, as evidenced by tangible improvements in their approach to emotional intelligence, resilience, and goal-setting. Post-program surveys reveal heightened confidence, improved stress management, and a refined ability to navigate personal and professional challenges. Data showcases the program's success, with high rates of participant satisfaction, demonstrated skill improvement, and the attainment of resume-enhancing certifications.
“I go to the gym to take care of my body; RADical Health helps me take care of my wellbeing, which is equally necessary.”
NYU RADical Health stands as a trailblazing initiative, redefining student support by integrating wellbeing and career readiness. Its innovative approach and tangible outcomes exemplify its significance in shaping well-rounded, empowered individuals poised for success beyond academia.
