Well-Being at Berklee
In support of our fundamental value to care for each other and for the well-being of our community, Berklee is committed to providing our faculty and staff with resources and opportunities to support their whole selves. This holistic approach encompasses eight dimensions of wellness—emotional, environmental, financial, intellectual, occupational, physical, social, and spiritual—all of which are key to each of us being able to thrive personally and professionally, and live a fulfilling life.
