Health, Wellness, & Recreation
Your wellness matters.
Maintaining your health and wellness is a crucial part of this new experience. So, what interests you? Swimming laps to unwind? Morning meditation? Virtual wellness apps? We have a variety of activities and services to ensure every student feels happy, healthy, and supported on their path to discovery.
Staying healthy at Grinnell
Counseling Services
It’s easier to explore when you have peace of mind. Anytime you need someone to talk to, the counseling team at Student Health and Wellness (SHAW) is here. Our resources include licensed psychologists, mental health counselors, digital platforms like our wellness app, and more.
Medical Services
Dive deeper into every activity knowing we’re here to keep you healthy. The Student Health and Wellness (SHAW) registered providers assess and treat illnesses and injuries, dispense over-the-counter medications, and can prescribe medications as needed.
Spirituality
Whether you want to connect with student-run religious and spiritual organizations, worship communities in town, or Religious Life staff members for conversation or counseling, the Center for Religion, Spirituality, and Social Justice helps you engage with Grinnell’s diverse spiritual community.
Recreation and Fitness
Stuck contemplating the answers to a question or equation? Give your mind a rest at the Bear Recreation and Athletics center. Whether it’s cardio machines or climbing walls, pull-up bars or pickleball practice, you’ll find whatever you need to work it all out.
