Wellness@Law
Healthy living encompasses far more than simply proper nutrition and exercise--it includes physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. A healthy lifestyle can be difficult to maintain given the intensity of law school. By promoting wellness, we hope to provide you with as much support and information as possible.
We want to hear from you! If you have any questions or suggestions for information that you would like to see featured on the Wellness@Law website or at any of our events, please contact us or stop by the Dean of Students Office in Pound Hall, Room 310.
HLS Drug & Alcohol Peer Advisor (DAPA) Program
Drug & Alcohol Peer Advisors (DAPAs) are a select group of student leaders who will be trained to respond to questions about alcohol and other drug issues at Harvard Law School. DAPAs will provide an invaluable service to the Law School as health opinion leaders, resources to their peers, and liaisons to both the Dean of Students Office as well as the Office of Alcohol & Other Drug Services (AODS). DAPAs will help to create and implement programs, policies, and other prevention strategies overseen by Cathleen Segal, Assistant Director for Student Services in the Dean of Students Office.
