Health Promotion
Well-being is about more than cardio and broccoli.
Health Promotion actively seeks to educate and empower students to make informed choices that positively impact personal wellness and the wellness of the greater community. Figuring out how to stay well in college can be a challenge. We’re here to help! Staff and peer educators from Health Promotion help shape an environment that supports wellness by offering free events and workshops on topics students care about, hosting campus-wide campaigns to raise awareness about trending health topics, and making reputable health information accessible to students through our website.
Sexual Assault Prevention
As part of Butler’s comprehensive approach to ending sexual violence on campus, some educational offerings are tailored to meet the needs of specific populations, and other offerings are shared with the entire campus. All campus residences offer prevention programming and in-hall exhibits of trending topics including healthy relationships, consent, and bystander intervention. Ongoing training is offered through Health Promotion, Counseling and Consultation Services and the Butler University Police Department to students, faculty, and staff by request.

Sleep
To dream like a Bulldog, you’ve got to sleep. And, we know that can be easier than it sounds in college.

Substance-Free Fun
Because many Butler students want to have fun and don’t necessarily need or want alcohol to be a part of their plans, @BUGoodCleanFun features daily postings about campus and local events that are substance-free.
