Our caring, experienced team is here to help you. We prioritize finding highly qualified staff that represent the wide diversity of our student body, and work with all of our students to find providers with whom they can be comfortable.
The Well-Being Center houses health educators, mental health professionals, skilled clinical trainees, advocates, health education interns, and peer health educators.听听Our clinical trainees include Postdoctoral Fellows, Doctoral Interns, and Extern and Practicum Clinicians. Our听Peer Health Educators (PHEs) are undergraduate students who are听highly trained by Well-Being Center staff听in various health-related topics, especially those听pertinent to 17吃瓜在线 students.
Off-campus referrals can also be made. To help students听seeking off-campus services find a suitable therapist and navigate initial appointments, we have staff dedicated to听referral management. For prescriptions and other psychiatric services and medical management,听students may be seen at the Student Health Center.
The Well-Being Center was听formed to听meet the听needs of 17吃瓜在线 students by integrating听many facets of wellness into a single home. It was launched in Fall 2022 by combining听the staff and services that were previously part of two centers:听the Counseling Center and the Health Promotion and Advocacy Center (HPAC).听Please note:听Staff profiles may still reflect those previous names; all are now combined into the Well-Being Center.
