Student Government Association Meeting October 17, 2023 SHWB Mission, Vision and Values Mission: Student Health and Well-being provides holistic services that are accessible, inclusive, equitable, and high quality with the goal to foster a proactive, supportive culture and enhance students’ and trainees’ experience at Johns Hopkins University while preparing them to lead fulfilling personal and professional lives. Vision: The integration of health and well-being throughout the Johns Hopkins experience will empower students and learners to thrive and contribute meaningfully to their work, their communities, and the world. Values: Respect, Trust, Inclusion, Collaboration Well-Being Defined (adapted from NIRSA, NASPA, and ACHA Inter-association Definition, November 2020) Well-Being is an optimal and dynamic state that allows people and communities to achieve their full potential. By focusing on "the whole" — the whole person, the whole educational experience, the whole institution, the whole community — well-being becomes a multifaceted goal and a shared responsibility for the entire institution.
