Join Professional Development Summer Camp with TimelyCare this summer

From: Hokie Wellness

Summertime offers a valuable opportunity to pause, reflect, and reaffirm healthy habits. This summer, there’s an added incentive to prioritize mental health and well-being with select Self-Care Journeys from the TimelyCare platform, as each will count toward Virginia Tech’s Professional Development Summer Camp.

Summer Camp runs until Aug. 21 and offers a fun, flexible way to engage in professional growth while building community. Participants must fill out the registration form to earn recognition and badges by completing activities across five categories: leadership, engagement, innovation, accessibility, and wellness.

Self-Care Journeys within TimelyCare focus on areas such as stress management, intention, emotional resilience, and overall well-being, helping individuals set goals and create meaningful, sustainable change. 

By integrating self-care into the Summer Camp experience, participants can support both personal well-being and professional development goals.

Employees must register to participate. To browse selected Self-Care Journeys eligible for Summer Camp credit, visit the Dashboard and toggle the view to ‘Yes’ for Self-paced. Activities include a note in the description if it is a TimelyCare option. Select the ‘Register here’ link to be directed to the activity within the platform; you will need to log in or register your account.

To access the full catalog of Self-Care Journeys and more, participants can sign in with their @vt.edu email address on the TimelyCare app or visit timelycare.com/virginiatech and select ‘Self-Care’ to get started.
