Office of Health Promotion (OHP)

Our Mission

The Office of Health Promotion provides wellness education about responsible substance use, mental health resources, and comprehensive sexual health education. We hope that through health promotion and awareness, we can equip UNC students with the necessary tools to make safer decisions in an effort to create a healthy campus experience for all.

Mondays at 6 p.m.

Join the Office of Health Promotion's Peer Health Educators for an intentional weekly self-care space! Mental Health Happy Hours (MHHH) are for students to decompress, connect, and reach out for resources. Each week, our MHHH will offer self-care activities (e.g. coloring, watching a movie together, playing board games...etc!). Some weeks will host speakers or workshops that provide tools and skills to manage stress and overwhelm.
