Prioritizing basic needs for better student wellbeing
Basic Needs insecurities can have a significant impact on the health and wellbeing of our students. UAB Student Assistance & Support believes every student deserves to have their basic needs met; and when students have their necessities covered, they can fully concentrate on their academic pursuits. Our team understand students face various challenges, and we want to create a supportive environment where they can thrive. By providing resources and fostering a sense of belonging and community, we hope to remove some of the anxiety associated with basic needs insecurities.
