Academic Wellness Hub
At Taylor and Francis, we know it has never been more essential to prioritize wellness than it is now, in our current COVID era. On both an individual and collective scale, we see how the communities that have been most successful in adapting and adopting a new way forward, are the ones prioritizing wellness in any way they can.
Mental, emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing are especially essential for you to feel your best at work and at home. Feeling excessively stressed at work and/or at home can lead to poor concentration, depleting feelings of anger, overwhelm, fear, and hopelessness, and a plethora of other factors that can impact your personal and professional life.
We aim to continue supporting your individual and community wellness by providing a variety of free resources on a continual basis, which you can find on this page. Check back every month for our most recent updates including new wellness related articles, free chapter samplers, interviews with various academic institutions examining how they’ve prioritized wellness throughout their communities, and much more.
