Wellness Center
The Wellness Center is a safe space for students and the entire campus community. If you are looking for a refreshment, a quiet space to study or relax, a phone charging station, a happy light, access to printed materials or resources, or personal health items such as condoms and sanitary napkins, we have you covered!
We also offer wellness programs throughout the academic year, including free classes, like Tai Chi and yoga. Or you can drop in for one of our flu shot clinics or confidential HIV testing programs. The Wellness Center is designed with your needs in mind, so we are open to suggestions for more programs.

Stop Overdose with Narcan
Do you know what naloxone (Narcan) does? It’s a potentially life-saving medication
for treating opioid overdose.
Consider having some available just in case, in these situations:
- If you use or know people who use opioids (even if medically prescribed)
- If you use or know people who use any type of illegal drugs (because these can be contaminated with fentanyl or other opioids)
- If you want to be prepared to help in an overdose emergency situation until the emergency medical responders arrive
You can request naloxone for free through the People’s Harm Reduction Alliance (PHRA). They also have more information and FAQs about naloxone on their website.
And if you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available.
- For physical emergencies or danger (including overdose), call or text 911
- For mental and emotional health concerns: Call or text 988 or chat at 988lifeline.org/chat
- And on-campus or virtually, our confidential counseling services at Edmonds College are also available for you to talk through situations in your life. You are not alone.
