Nurturing Minority Wellness

This is Your Campus

Nurturing Minority Wellness (NMW) is a program of the MU Counseling Center that supports the mental health and wellness needs of students from underrepresented communities. We know that students from these communities can face additional challenges related to mental health and well-being. We strive to foster resilience, joy and sense of belonging among students.

What We Do

  • Provide workshops, events, and presentations on minority student health and wellness
  • Connect minority students to relevant campus resources and services
  • Collaborate with our Student Consultants to inform outreach initiatives
  • And more!
