LiveWell: Wellness, Health, and Fitness Programs

The mission of the LiveWell Program is to enhance each student's well-being. This is accomplished by assisting students to develop and maintain positive self-management skills through knowledge and safe and enjoyable experiences. These skills are especially geared toward long and rich careers in music.

Wellness Workshops

Wellness workshops are offered throughout the academic year and include ways to practice healthy exercise, nutrition, sleep, and stress-reduction habits. The Counseling and Advising Center, Office of Student Activities, Performance Division, Liberal Arts Department, Music Therapy Department, and others collaborate with LiveWell to promote positive lifestyle behaviors and choices, encourage a holistic philosophy, and combine a proactive and balanced approach to healthy living through classes, workshops, events, and services. All inquiries regarding wellness workshops should be directed to livewell@berklee.edu or the LiveWell office located in the Student Activities Center.

Membership is also available to student-initiated clubs that promote health and wellness. For a complete list of student-initiated health and wellness clubs, email studentactivities@berklee.edu.
