Drexel University Wellness Zone

Reducing stress and increasing self-awareness and self-compassion can help us find balance. We are proud to create space for our Dragons to slow down, recharge, reflect, and use some relaxation techniques to assist as you navigate life as a busy student.

The Wellness Zone is located at the Counseling Center in Creese 201. To use the room, sign up at the front desk and leave your Dragon ID, which you can grab on the way out. Our current hours are Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. (*From June 21–Sept 4 the room closes at 11:30 a.m. on Fridays following summer term hours). We are currently closed Saturday and Sunday.
