4-Week Health Challenge
Offered by The Center for Counseling & Well-being
Join the HealthyU Challenge, a 4-week personal wellness journey designed to help you build healthier habits—physically, mentally, and emotionally. This self-guided program encourages you to reflect, act, and grow, all through the** HireU platform**. ** Here’s how it works:**
- Download the USG HireU / Suitable app and log-in
- Start Strong – Take a private “before” photo and complete a short self-assessment identifying the areas you want to improve—sleep, nutrition, physical activity, stress, or self-care.
- Daily Commitment – Each day, do one thing to challenge yourself to live healthier. It could be a 10-minute walk, turning off screens before bed, or cooking a balanced meal.
- Attend one of the CCW’s events during the week. Some of these are: Mental health first aid / QPR: Suicide Prevention / Acupuncture/ USG Gym session / USG recreation center for ping pong-foosball-chess / Walk around campus / Attend a support session at the Counseling Center
- Track Your Progress – Use the provided log to keep track of your actions and reflections throughout the month.
- Finish Proud – End with an “after” photo and a second self-assessment to see how far you’ve come.
Participants who complete the challenge will earn points in HireU, receive an invitation to a celebration event during the semester.
Challenge yourself. Grow stronger. Graduate well. Let’s get healthy—together!
