It is hard to feel good about ourselves or our contributions in the world when we have a troubled relationship with the way we eat or the way we look.
Here you can learn about alcohol and other drug-related health concerns, educational initiatives, environmental strategies plus collaborative efforts between the U-M campus and Ann Arbor community.
Our programs work to reduce harmful consequences of alcohol and other drug use, in order to support students in achieving their personal and academic potential.
Because of the health and safety risk inherent in alcohol and other drug misuse, the University of Michigan notifies parents/family of first-year students under the age of 21 in certain circumstances.
We have a variety of condoms, lubricant, and dental dams that are available free for students. Visit our table outside Wolverine Wellness on the ground floor of UHS. We thank you for sanitizing your hands and maintaining social distancing when picking up safer sex items.
UHS Pharmacy sells condoms and other safer sex products, as do area pharmacies. Products are also available for purchase online and can be shipped to your home.
Communication is a key aspect of all relationships. Some people communicate very directly, while others are more subtle.

At some point, many students make choices about whether to date or hang out with someone, or whether or not to have sex. When you decide based on your values, and when you've considered what you do and don't want, you're more likely to feel good about your decision. And remember, it's always OK to change your mind.
Stigmatizing attitudes toward obese individuals usually emerge when people believe that excess weight is controllable and is a problem of lack of personal responsibility (Brownell et al., 2009)
