Body At Pacific, we believe that mental health matters. Prioritizing our mental and emotional well-being is essential — not only for navigating life’s challenges, but to help us show up as our best, most authentic selves. In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, our dedicated team at the Counseling Center put together a list of their top five book recommendations that offer insight, comfort, and support — many of which are available for our students in the Counseling Center office.

Fasting is a regular practice that has been highly regarded by most religions for centuries. In addition, people fast for non-religious reasons to achieve their well-being and health-related goals. The season of Ramadan is a month in which Muslims around the world fast from dawn to dusk. Ramadan is a wonderful time to promote cultural awareness about fasting, celebrate the practice of fasting, and also to learn about the science behind fasting.
