The Good Life Center is Yale’s official student wellness hub, existing and operating with a two-fold mission: to empower students with evidence-based skills for fostering mental, physical, social, and emotional well-being, and to cultivate a campus culture that promotes wellness as a fundamental, accessible human right. Our main location is on the second floor of the Schwarzman Center, and we have satellite spaces all over campus.
