Belonging & Wellness
Belonging at Yale
Through belonging, we thrive—able to be ourselves, to seek our full potential, and to freely participate in the vibrant life of a scholarly community and its pursuit of excellence. Every member of our community should have the opportunity to feel safe, supported, and seen. Yale has multiple resources if you need guidance, assistance, or information; or want to discuss or report an incident of discrimination, harassment, or sexual misconduct: Get Support.
Regardless of your health plan, Yale engages and supports all postdocs by offering wellness support programs.
Being Well at Yale builds on existing resources at Yale to engage and support postdocs in their progression towards healthier lifestyles.
