Galloway, N.J. – The Stockton Entertainment Team (SET) and Stockton University Wellness Center will host a Winter Wellness Day from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 26 in the Campus Center Event Room. 

At the event, attendees can take part in stress-relief activities, pick up winter wellness giveaways, and visit a “winter blues” station focused on practical tips for maintaining mental and emotional well-being during the colder months.

Guest speaker Nick Maccarone will take the stage at 2 p.m., where he will share personal experiences and professional insight on mental health, resilience and the power of self-growth.

Drawing from his work as a licensed therapist and mental health advocate, Maccarone’s talk will focus on breaking the stigma around mental health, while offering practical strategies for navigating stress, emotional challenges and personal growth.

In addition to his clinical background, Maccarone is also an actor with a wide-reaching public profile. He is well known for his appearances on “Big Brother” and television series, including “Scandal,” “Law and Order: SVU,” “Eye Candy” and “Unforgettable.” His combination of professional expertise and public visibility allows him to connect with audiences in an authentic and relatable way. 

The event is free and open to the public, and will include a lunch, along with a hot cocoa, coffee, and tea bar.  The hosts encourage students, faculty, staff, and community members to attend, take advantage of the resources offered, and participate in the conversation around mental wellness.
