Counseling and Wellness Services consists of two departments that work collaboratively to create a culture at UWF in which students strive for mental and physical health. Each department also works independently, providing unique contributions to the UWF campus community.
Counseling Services offers counseling and therapy to help students address how to manage, cope and grow with the stress associated with school and life. The primary goal of counseling is to help students develop the personal awareness and skills necessary to overcome problems and to develop in ways that will allow them to take advantage of the educational opportunities at the university.
Wellness Services is active on campus providing health promotion services in the areas of alcohol abuse & misuse prevention, sexual health promotion and sexual assault prevention. Wellness Services also coordinates the UWF Peer Educators program.
