Big Changes on the Horizon

In the near future, Big Red Resilience & Well-being is merging into a brand-new campus Well-being Collective.

Additional details to be announced soon. Stay tuned.

Make a Difference

Get Involved in Well-being

Student participate in the Hi, How Are You? event outside the Nebraska Union.

Big Red Resilience and Well-being (BRRWB) is supported by nearly 100 student volunteers who assist peers in a variety of topic areas. Volunteers come from all majors, backgrounds and cultures. We seek talented, enthusiastic students to join our team to support Nebraska students.

Update! After careful consideration we are no longer calling our one-on-one appointments with students, well-being coaching appointments. Our volunteers who offer coaching are part of the Well-being Ambassador team. We will refer to well-being coaching as one-on-one discussions that center on well-being and mental health. These conversations provide resources to enhance student resilience and help huskers keep growing.

Volunteer Opportunities

Well-being Ambassadors
Two students talk one-on-one

You’ll facilitate conversations about mental health and well-being with peers and use strategies that promote well-being. Through conversations, you’ll help students learn about their own well-being and break down falsehoods about getting help. Well-being Ambassadors also deliver presentations and promote the work of BRRWB through outreach events.

Financial Well-being Ambassadors
Student plays a game that simulates practicing financial management

You’ll meet one-on-one with students to discuss financial concerns and help students meet financial goals by providing education to strengthen financial well-being and reduce money stress.
