In this episode of the Y Health podcast, Dr. Cougar Hall, alongside Dr. Alisha Redelfs and Dr. Julianne Grose, explores the intersection of public health and the creation of a sense of belonging within academic communities. The conversation delves into BYU’s Office of Belonging, established in 2021, and its unique gospel-centered approach to fostering inclusion and connection across campus. Through research, programs, and individual mentorship, the office is creating an environment where students, faculty, and staff can thrive—both academically and spiritually.
The discussion also highlights the vital role that public health plays in addressing loneliness and its impacts on mental and physical well-being. Dr. Redelfs and Dr. Grose share their insights on how building a supportive, inclusive community is central to students' overall success and well-being. With a focus on mentorship and personal connection, the episode reflects on the profound ways in which belonging shapes individual growth and collective health in the BYU community.
Recorded, Edited & Produced by Christy Gonzalez, Harper Xinyu Zhang, Kailey Hopkins, and Tanya Gale
