SOS Program

The 4 categories of SOS are social connection, study skills, sleep health, and self-care because together they represent core foundations of student well-being and academic success. Research shows that building strong social connections supports belonging and reduces feelings of isolation. Study skills tools empower students to approach academics with confidence, helping them manage workloads effectively and reduce stress.  UCCS college students often mention struggles with sleep health. Getting consistent, quality sleep is essential for supporting memory, concentration, emotional stability, and overall physical health. Finally, self-care practices,including stress management, mindfulness, and healthy routines, equip students to navigate challenges and maintain balance. By addressing these interconnected areas, the SOS program provides a holistic approach to supporting students’ success both inside and outside the classroom.
