Duck Nest
Find your balance.
The Duck Nest is your resource for self-care and life balance through peer-led mental, physical, and sexual well-being programming.
Check us out at EMU 041 (ground floor).
Promoting Well-Being
Physical, sexual, and mental well-being are important to student success. The University Health Services well-being team provides programming for UO students through the Duck Nest and in the community via events and programs to assist you in pursuing balance. Through highly trained peer wellness facilitators, find your calm through a wide range of mental, physical, and sexual well-being resources. We also connect you with resources within the UO community and beyond.
