BSB launches its One Health Center

Everything for the well-being of the student!

Becoming the school of reference for student experience is one of the pillars of the UP 2027 strategic plan presented at the end of 2022. At BSB, the excellence of this experience is mainly deployed via two devices: Pathfinder™, which offers global and transversal support for students from the first day at BSB to their first job; and the One Health Center, which is launched this fall and brings together all that is put in place to promote the well-being and personal development of the student.

The One Health approach, complex and global

“At BSB, we are convinced that a student who is good in his environment, in his body and in his mind, is a happy student, and that he will therefore be in the best position to learn”, explains Orlane Ballorin, Coordinator of the One Health Center BSB.

“In order to meet this ambition to place students in the best conditions to carry out their project and ultimately to prepare for life in business, we adopt a One Health approach that considers that living organisms and ecosystems are interconnected and that the health of some depends on that of others. It is a global vision of health issues that takes into account the complex relationships between entities and in particular the impacts of human activity on the environment.”

“This invites us to offer a truly comprehensive offer at the service of the student's personal development, to encourage them to take time for themselves and take care of themselves. We will also take advantage of the formalization of this system to set up a well-being observation laboratory at BSB, a tool that will allow us to assess what is being put in place as well as the evolution of the student's well-being during their studies at the School.”

A tailor-made wellness program

The One Health Center is available to students to discuss issues of nutrition, sport, stress management, sleep, but also to discuss more sensitive issues such as addictions, harassment or discrimination. Everyone can create their own program based on workshops, trainings, conferences or individual appointments.

“On the mental health dimension, for example, we have a psychological support unit that allows us to be accompanied by professionals in difficult periods” continues Orlane Ballorin. “But we also offer emergency care if necessary, art therapy workshops, sophrology workshops, and workshops in art therapy, sophrology, as well as seated massages to relax in a short period of time. For physical health, a gym is available and we organize fitness, yoga and Pilates classes. Nutritional follow-up by a professional dietitian is also possible.”

“More generally, we are concerned with raising awareness and training as many people as possible about the various forms of harassment, discrimination and sexist and sexual violence, in order to better prevent them, and we are doing prevention around emotional and sexual life or various addictions. And then, of course, we provide adapted support for students with disabilities.”
