Phoenix Cura Corner

"The gifts we treasure most over the years are often small and simple. In easy times and in tough times, what seems to matter most is the way we show those nearest us that we've been listening to their needs, to their joys, and to their challenges.'"   -- Fred Rogers

The Cura Corner was devised from the desire to create a space to promote (in)formal resources and tools for well-being and mindfulness for our learners and overall campus community. Inspired by one of Creighton University’s values, cura personalis (Latin translated as "care for the individual person"), the Phoenix Health Sciences Library and Student Life designated a “Cura Corner” to host a growing variety of materials and items that support and promote this concept as our community moves through their daily lives. In line with similar initiatives like Family Study Rooms or Relaxation Rooms, the Cura Corner occupies its own nook inside the Health Sciences Library, a natural hub for health information already located off of the main student socialization space, so that the community has semi-private access to loan or take in-a-pinch without experiencing any anxiety or shame. The Cura Corner currently hosts materials and collections pertaining to:

• On- and off-campus wellness resources
• How to recognize peers in need
• How to find, use, and promote consumer health information
• Personal care items like breath mints, eyeglass solution, menstrual products, etc. that the community may need "in-a-pinch" moving between campus and clinical sites
• Mindfulness items like fidgets and stress balls
• A special collection of reading material, including but not limited to special topics, mindfulness workbooks, and graphic medicine

Our OTD 1's took over for the month of February!

Our first-year OTD students hosted the Cura Corner to showcase sensory activities, public health info, and fun treats for the community with a different theme each week!

Don't forget to thank an OT for their creativity, generosity, and expertise!
