We have provided practical, hands-on strategies of different types that can help reduce your negative stress. In addition we have provided materials on several stress related topics that we feel are both informative and inspirational.
Please
take a moment to
read through the list of
offerings. If
you see something
you'd like to use in the
space, follow the directions we've included
here, relax, enjoy, and feel
better.
Please
send any feedback about the Relaxation Station, materials or procedures
to Abby Kane or Lucia S. Winston of the Wellness Center
A Guide to Borrowing Materials
All the material on the following list is available for use in the College Center. We've created a Relaxation Station on the third floor, which provides comfort, quiet, a VCR, television and a CD and tape player. In order to use the Relaxation Station and materials, you'll need to sign up at the counter on the first floor. A staff member from the Office of Co-Curricular Programs (CCP) will assist you, but this guide will help you know the procedures to follow.
- Decide what you'd like
to use. Contact Lucia S. Winston (Ext. 302) or
Abby Kane (Ext. 403) of the Personal Counseling Office
if you need help selecting the right tape for your
particular concern. The staff of CCP, located on the
first floor of the College Center will assist you when
you are ready to get the materials.
- Ask
for the item by number. All
you have to do is ask for the number
as it is listed in the far right column
of the list in this booklet. When the
item is returned, it will be checked
to see that it is in good condition*.
- Sign
up for the hour you will need the Relaxation
Station. Please be aware that
only one person may use the space at
a time, so demand may be great, at times,
and for this reason, the Relaxation Station
will be available for one hour at a time.
- Give your Bloomfield College I.D. Card to the person helping you. It will be returned when the material you borrowed and the key to the Relaxation Station is returned. You are responsible to see that the Relaxation Station is left in good condition*.
- If you enter the space and it's messy or something seems to be missing, return immediately to the Office of Co-Curricular Programs on the first floor and report it, so that you will not be charged for the damage.
- No eating or drinking is allowed in the Relaxation Station.
- Only one person may use the Relaxation Station at a time.
-
Return the borrowed materials and the room key. If you find you'll need something for longer than an hour, contact Lucia S. Winston or Abby Kane for an overnight loan.
-
If you would like to give feedback on the material you used, send your comments to Lucia S. Winston and he'll post them on the Counseling web page. You can E-mail us or leave written feedback. Our offices are located opposite the Relaxation Station on the Third Floor of the College Center
*"Good Condition" is defined as the same condition it was in when you borrowed it, or in the case of the Relaxation Station, entered it
