Many universities provide spiritual wellness resources to support their diverse student populations. These resources often include meditation spaces, counseling, religious services, and workshops aimed at enhancing students' spiritual well-being. Offices dedicated to spiritual care frequently promote interfaith engagement, community building, and opportunities for reflection, ensuring students feel supported in their personal and spiritual growth.
