Is it a bubble bath and a face mask after a long day? Or is it a yoga class, listening to a virtual meditation, or just getting carry-out from a favorite local restaurant? Self-care looks different for everyone, and it\u2019s no different for students. Whatever it means to you, self-care is here to stay. In fact, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/studyfinds.org\/2020-stress-self-care\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener\">recent survey<\/a>, 7 in 10 Americans (73%) were more conscious of needing self-care, and nearly the same amount (69%) plan to do more self-care.<\/p><p>With this increase in prominence also comes an increase in content that, unfortunately, might not be as helpful as intended. Social media has a large presence and impact on today\u2019s college students&#8217; lives and understanding of the world. For better or worse, self-care content has also started filtering into the social feeds of college students. While social media may be a college student\u2019s first interaction with self-care content, we want to make sure it isn\u2019t the last.<\/p><p>That\u2019s why at TimelyCare, we\u2019ve created a full suite of <a href=\"https:\/\/timelycare.com\/digital-self-care\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\">self-care tools<\/a> and resources that are organized into Self-Care Journeys. By addressing some of the top issues that impact academic performance, including stress, healthy eating, healthy relationships, anxiety, depression, and sleep, we\u2019re providing students with self-care resources they can trust, in ways that are structured to help them set and achieve their wellness goals. Integrated into TimelyCare, our all-in-one virtual health and well-being solution, Self-Care Journeys supply students with the tools they need, anytime, anywhere. With it being integrated into TimelyCare, students can take the first step in their wellness journey and reach out to a mental health provider when they\u2019re ready. We\u2019re not replacing other self-care options like a bubble bath or working out, but we are making sure students have the tools, resources, and information they need so they can thrive in all aspects of their lives.<\/p><p>These journeys are mapped out within the TimelyCare app to help students better understand important topics that are affecting their lives while equipping them with tools on how to navigate college life. Each journey consists of a combination of short videos, engaging slides, and quick articles to help students engage with content in the way that they prefer.<\/p><h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-are-self-care-journeys\"><\/span>What are Self-Care Journeys?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4><p>Rooted in therapeutic practices and delivered in ways Gen Z prefers to consume content, Self-Care Journeys are evidence-based tools we\u2019ve designed for and road-tested with students to guide them on their journey to wellness.

Self-Care Journeys can be used on their own, or as a complement to an appointment in any other service line, scheduled or on-demand. If students aren&#8217;t sure where to start, we&#8217;re always here to help.

It was important to look into models that have already been used and are known to be successful for habit and behavioral change. We leaned into these historically proven, evidence-based practices and modernized them for Gen Z students, such as short videos, Instagram-style sliders, and explainer articles. Each journey contains highly visual, informative, and engaging content based on provider-developed, gold-standard approaches.<\/p><p>The result was that our first journeys in the app include stress, healthy relationships, and healthy eating.
