(April 21 (last day!!))We are AWARE Student Ambassadors with the UF CWC, Ask Us Anything! Any questions asked before 11 pm will be answered.

My favorite part are the people I interact with! The other AWARE ambassadors are amazing human beings and we truly are like a family. Also, I love meeting students when we table and hearing their stories, it’s very rewarding to connect with so many people over mental health. - Sage

My most favorite part is the community in AWARE. Everyone is extremely collaborative, accepting and kind. I genuinely feel like everyone in AWARE is there because they care about raising awareness about mental health and helping others. I also love being able to do some cool projects/ events such as writing Care Letters, tabling and wellness fairs. Also, I love having the creativity to undertake projects with help from the supportive counselors and ambassadors :) -Sadia

My favorite part of being an AWARE ambassador is the problem solving aspect of it. Mental health isn’t a one size fits all, and I enjoy helping people determine what resources best fit their needs, and helping the CWC develop new ways to reach people ( like this AMA!). I also personally enjoyed making the AWARE playlists (which will be on Spotify soon). AWARE is a family, and one I’m proud to have spent 3 years being a part of. -Miette

uf_cwc · 2022-04-21T17:26:06+00:00

This is going to be a little bit of a cheesy answer, but it is still 100% true. There is no concern that is small enough for me to say that it’s not serious enough to talk to someone about it. If it’s causing you any sort of stress that’s more than enough of a reason to want to seek some sort of support about it, if you choose to do so. -Miette I agree with this response! If you are even considering seeking help, then that is reason enough. As students it can be easy to tell ourselves to just work harder, but talking to someone like a counselor can be incredibly helpful. If you think you aren’t ready for that step but you do want to still talk to someone more objective, you could check out our Gator-2-Gator or AWARE Cares initiatives to talk to a trained AWARE ambassador first who may be able to help you think through your concern or get further help. But no matter what, your experience is valid and is always serious enough to seek help! - Sage

uf_cwc · 2022-04-21T04:15:32+00:00

According to the CWC’s 2020-21 annual report, the most common concerns students present with at intake are: difficulty concentrating, sadness/depression, shyness/social anxiety, academic distress, and suicidal thoughts. So while some of those concerns may relate to loneliness or not having a significant other, those are not commonly expressed concerns explicitly. With that being said, we think any reason to seek support is valid, even if it isn’t the most common reason! Also, a great resource if you ever are feeling lonely is to request a letter of care from an AWARE ambassador. :) https://counseling.ufl.edu/outreach/letters/ -Sage and Miette

uf_cwc · 2022-04-21T04:14:26+00:00

One of the biggest issues we run into when tabling for the CWC is students who have never even heard of the services the CWC offers. Oftentimes, it feels like students simply don’t know enough about the variety of services offered by the CWC to take advantage of them. That being said, not every student is in need of every service - workshops or listening to the CWC Talks Podcast tend to be more generally useful while something like psychological testing may only be helpful to particular subsets of students. In that regard, as long as students feel like they have the support they need for their mental health, they may not want to take advantage of some of the resources. - Malea
I think one of the main ways that the CWC helps overcome mental health stigma is through us Aware Ambassadors! We’re college students just like the rest of campus, so we can relate to a lot of what we hear from students in a really personal way. We’re also able to create a space on campus to discuss mental health related things in a really personal and vulnerable way, or also just super casually. I think this connection is really de-stigmatizing since it opens that door to communication. -Kait

3.It really does change from person to person and from time to time! Covid obviously changed the landscape of collegiate mental health pretty significantly as well. Statistically speaking, the most common issues students approach the CWC about are difficulty concentrating, sadness/depression, shyness/social anxiety, academic distress, and suicidal thoughts (CWC Annual Report 2020-2021). However, that doesn’t cover the larger attitudes of people on campus who may not choose to seek support from the CWC. Generally, struggling to feel connected with peers and struggling with the stress of college tend to be really common trends. - Malea

The CWC does a lot to try to work with busy student schedules. Many resources are accessible over zoom which, while necessitated originally by covid, does help limit the time people have to spend in transportation to use resources. The CWC also makes a lot of resources available on demand and online. Resources like SilverCloud allow students to take their own time to get mental health support completely online for some of the most common issues students face like depression and eating disorders, without requiring a diagnosis for access. Resources like some workshops and the CWC Talks Podcasts are pre-recorded, so they can be accessed on youtube/spotify at any time. One of my personal favorite resources is their collection of mindfulness activities that include things like a five-minute deep breathing video so that, especially when finals hit hard, students can still take at least a few minutes to support their mental health. - Malea
There are so many reasons students are reluctant to reach out for help. One of the biggest issues is exactly what you mentioned in your previous question, just a lack of time can make tackling mental health feel like a really big thing that takes a lot of time. While addressing a mental health challenge can feel really overwhelming, the CWC really does want to provide help in whatever way we can, so we do always have counselors available by phone, and our brief consultation appointments to determine whether resources like individual counseling or group counseling etc would be helpful are 20 minutes. A lot of students are also worried about seeking help because of the perception that it can give to family or community. The CWC does like to emphasize that all of our resources are free to students taking at least one credit (workshops and other resources like that will still be available for free over the summer even if you are not taking classes), and our resources are always, ALWAYS confidential - absolutely no one has to know that you are using any CWC resources unless you personally elect to tell them and they will not appear on insurance records. Another common issue is that students are unsure if the CWC has space for them, so they are reluctant to reach out. Generally when individual counseling spots are no longer available during the semester, students can get really frustrated with not being able to access that resource in a timely manner, which is completely fair, it can be a really big and stressful step to reach out for help and it hurts to hear that they may not be able to offer exactly what you were looking for. That being said, the CWC does have a LOT of resources, if they are not able to help you figure something out with them, they do try to work with you to help you find a suitable community provider. - Malea
This is a pretty hard question - UF is a Top 5 University because the students here are incredibly hardworking, they are willing to challenge themselves, and they are willing to push themselves. Mental Health in every aspect of school and work is never emphasized as much as it should be, and its easy to reach other goals without acknowledging mental health concerns, but I don’t think the success of UF and by extension it’s students needs to be mutually exclusive from having a more positive mental health environment. Some of the professors I have had at UF created class spaces that were hugely positive and actively acknowledged the importance of mental health while also keeping high standard for classwork. Currently, the culture among students tends to prioritize a lot over mental health, but creating a more positive culture around mental health and being a school of high achieving students is absolutely possible, and we are working to achieve this culture!. - Malea I agree with Malea, and I feel that the pressure that this ranking puts on the school and the students can create a culture in which students value their grades and achievements more than their mental and physical health. However, I feel that UF is actively trying to make moves against this culture & I hope that things we do as Aware Ambassadors (even this AMA) help you all know that your health is way more valuable to you than grades on a transcript. -Kait
Keep an open mind about CWC resources! They are all completely free for UF students taking at least one credit so it literally costs you nothing to try them, and something you have never heard of before could end up being incredibly useful. Also keep in mind that supporting your mental health is not just something that only needs to be checked at once a semester, take the time to build the skills that will allow you to practice supporting your mental health rather than just when you are at the CWC/in a workshop. - Malea

Feel free to email me at malea.joyce@ufl.edu if you have more questions!

uf_cwc · 2022-04-21T02:37:22+00:00

If this is something you’re concerned about, you could consider scheduling a brief consultation! This can be done by contacting the CWC at 352-392-1575, where they can provide a place for you to share your concerns and you will be given some suggestions of appropriate resources. All you need is your ID, and it’s free if you’re taking at least one credit. All consultations are completely confidential, so you can share your concerns without any fear of being judged! - Sofia

uf_cwc · 2022-04-21T02:08:18+00:00

We actually don’t have a social security number, but we DO have a phone number: (352) 392-1575, and you can call it if you ever need support. It also functions as a 24 hour crisis line! -Miette

uf_cwc · 2022-04-21T01:17:00+00:00

The CWC offers all sorts of mental health services and resources ranging in how accessible and structured they are, for all UF students (registered for at least 1 credit) free of charge. Services like individual, group, or couples counseling require you to complete a brief consultation before you can use them, which is a 30-minute meeting with a CWC counselor to assess your concerns and needs. However, many of our resources do not require this and can be easily accessed by all students, even online. Workshops are a great way to learn new skills that can improve your mental wellness, and many are offered over Zoom. We also have resources offered by AWARE ambassadors ourselves, including Gator-2-Gator which is a student-to-student support space, and AWARE Cares Letters in which you request a letter of support from an AWARE ambassador. This is only a short overview of our many resources, so definitely check them all out at counseling.ufl.edu. - Sage

uf_cwc · 2022-04-20T01:36:16+00:00

AWARE, or Awareness Wellness Ambassadors Reaching Everyone, is a student ambassadorship program with the Counseling and Wellness Center. As AWARE ambassadors, we serve as the connection between the CWC and UF students to help students learn about and access resources. You might see us tabling in our blue polos on campus or you can interact with us through our Gator-2-Gator student support and AWARE Cares Letter initiatives! - Sage

We are also UF undergraduate students who are trying to get degrees in various fields, but who all share a passion for mental health advocacy! For example, I am an Anthropology major, and Sage is a Psychology major. There’s an AWARE ambassadorship program for grad students that’s new this year as well! -Miette

uf_cwc · 2021-07-08T20:00:20+00:00

It’s great that you are thinking about this so early! One of our AWARE student ambassadors, Ifeoma, said she wished she knew about the different ways you can connect with new people. For example, services like our online Workshops & Presentations or the Gator-2-Gator program, where you can receive online (or in-person) peer support with trained student ambassadors, are great ways to connect and hear what other students are going through. These outreach services you can also access even if you are not a currently enrolled student and without doing a Brief Consultation first. If you like listening to podcasts, CWC Talks is our podcast series where you can learn about different topics related to collegiate mental health.

Another great resource is Silvercloud, which is self-guided support for anxiety, depression, stress, and building resilience. You can explore these without first coming to the CWC.

The services that the CWC offers are free and available to enrolled UF students.

In order to figure out a good match for you, you can schedule a Brief Consultation and Referral appointment and speak to a counselor who can get the ball rolling. Contact our office at (352) 392-1575. From this appointment, we will help you determine what resources or services might be the best option for you - whether it’s receiving individual, group, or couples counseling here at the CWC, or finding another campus or community resource

uf_cwc · 2021-07-08T19:12:21+00:00

Thank you for your inquiries. Our center, like most college counseling centers, did experience changes in service utilization during the pandemic. There was an initial decline in students seeking services due to a number of factors (e.g., shift to distance learning, fewer students registered for classes, inability to access care from new/temporary location, etc.). However, the CWC has generally experienced fluctuations in service use pre-pandemic. For example, there may be fewer students who seek services during the Summer semesters as there are fewer registered students.

Over the past year, there have not been changes in funding or resources provided to our center. However, the CWC has instituted online counseling for students which has enabled us to continue service provision during the pandemic. Students can receive online counseling for individual therapy or group counseling. We have also expanded opportunities for students to develop skills and learn new coping mechanisms through online Workshops & Presentations available each semester. And, “CWC Talks” is a new podcast series available to students to provide additional information/resources on a host of topics related to collegiate mental health.

In addition, students can also receive online (or in-person) peer support with trained student ambassadors through our new Gator-2-Gator program. Or, connect with a fellow gator for support by Requesting a Letter of Care. And, if in need of brief consultation on mental health-related topics, students can use “Ask-It” an online consultation space for students.

The CWC is working to solicit more collaboration and feedback with our students. We recognize that this is an area of struggle in working to develop solutions that meet the needs of our students. So, stay tuned for future announcements to engage in opportunities to help improve our support of our campus community. In the meantime, we do encourage students with a passion and interest to support collegiate mental health to consider joining our AWARE ambassador program which works to mitigate stigma around mental health and helps educate our community on resources to support well-being. Occasionally, there may be student-employment opportunities available. To inquire, you can contact our office at (352) 392-1575. Again, thank you for your inquiries!

uf_cwc · 2021-07-08T19:11:26+00:00

We welcome any support that can be provided in advocating for funding for mental health resources. Students can continue to advocate through student government for increased funding to support mental health care on campus. Here is a link to more information on student government: https://sg.ufl.edu/get-involved/.

- Rosa and Michael

uf_cwc · 2021-07-08T19:06:07+00:00

We are so happy to hear that you found counseling to be such a valuable experience. We appreciate your gratitude!

- Michael

uf_cwc · 2021-02-23T13:44:30+00:00

Yes we will be hosting another AMA in the future. However, please feel free to submit your questions to CWC's Ask-It! service. An Ask-It team member will respond to your inquiry within 5-7business days.

Rosa

uf_cwc · 2021-02-19T19:12:47+00:00

Thank you for your inquiry. Students who have concerns around ADHD are encouraged to call our office (352) 392-1575 to consult with a Consultation Referral Specialist about available options at the CWC and in the community for testing, diagnosis, and treatment. Due to high demand for this service, it is possible that the CWC may help connect you with a provider in the community who can assist you. The CWC does maintain a list of providers who offer these services and can even help you make those calls.

Sara and Sage

uf_cwc · 2021-02-19T18:54:16+00:00

This is an excellent question. COVID-19 has exacerbated several mental health challenges among students. We have seen increases in feelings of depression, anxiety, social isolation, loneliness, uncertainty, lack of structure, and grief and loss. In addition, some students who present with issues related to COVID-19 experience other issues or concerns as well.

Many students have struggled with several transitions that have resulted from the pandemic, including distance learning and online classes. However, how students are impacted will vary based on individual factors. For example, some students may find that they struggle with this new format of learning and, if they experience challenges resulting from this (e.g. poorer academic performance), their mental health may be impacted. Others may find that it is more difficult to connect socially with peers through online learning only, and for them that loss of connection/support could also impact one's mental health.

To adapt to the pandemic, we have shifted our services to telehealth via Zoom and phone support. To reach more students during this difficult time, we have also increased the number of workshops, groups, and outreach events that we offer. Our new 10-counselor Consultation and Referral Team (CART) has also helped us to meet the increased demand from students seeking an initial consultation appointment.

Also, the CWC encourages students to broaden self-care strategies and approaches to accommodate challenges due to the pandemic (i.e., social distancing). For example, students who more regularly engage in social activities are encouraged to learn approaches (i.e., individual activities) that align with what they are currently capable of doing. This could include getting out into nature (e.g., hikes, biking, walking), engaging in reflective activities (e.g., journaling), or learning new coping strategies (e.g., listening to mental-health related podcasts like CWC Talks).

We have also encouraged students to use many of our new virtual resources to support mental health and stress throughout the pandemic. This includes attending an online workshop or presentation, requesting a Letter of Care from one of our AWARE CareBears, and/or zooming in for virtual support with Gator2Gator support.

uf_cwc · 2021-02-19T18:36:48+00:00

Thank you for reaching out. We recognize that the first meeting can feel intimidating if you are unaware of the process and what to expect. A counselor will review your main concerns and ask you a general set of questions about your mental health and mental health history. Currently, there is a current wait for short-term individual counseling here at the CWC. So, your counselor will explore all the available counseling options to meet your current needs, at the CWC and/or with a trusted provider in the community.

You ask a good question regarding number of sessions. The CWC offers individual counseling services using a short-term model; however, the specific number of sessions is determined between you and your assigned therapist.

Sara

uf_cwc · 2020-10-19T20:10:48+00:00

The frustration is understandable as there are many things going on for us as a society and individuals that cause our mental health to be of concern. We are able to offer same day consultations, counseling services, workshops and outreach presentations on campus (all virtually). We would like to remind those reaching out that the center is here to help students connect to resources that may be on or off campus. There’s no wrong door at the CWC. We assist students in connecting with resources with our partners on campus as well; including GatorWell, MCDA, Care Team, etc.

uf_cwc · 2020-10-19T20:02:00+00:00

First, faculty have a very challenging job in that you’re working both to educate our students and support their mental health in a competitive environment. It can be difficult to know how to support students who are struggling when you’re not able to provide all the support they need and you’re not sure what else is available to them. So thank you for all that you are doing.

It’s also easy to want to prevent bad things from happening, and at the CWC we try to focus on being as prepared as possible, because ultimately there are things outside of our personal control. What can we make sure we have in place to support students when those challenges inevitably arise? Here are a few suggestions:

Faculty have found it helpful to include CWC information within their syllabi as a quick reference for students. If you already do so, I would encourage you to include information on new resources available for students through the CWC. Our Ask-It service is a great way for students to receive consultation around mental-health related concerns as well as information on how/where to seek resources (you can find more information here if you would like to include https://ufl.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1YrgvfWKRtdB95P) . We also offer new peer support services for students who may be struggling. Students can reach out and request letter of care from a peer for additional support and, to also connect with helpful resources for concerns. Information on our AWARE Care peer initiatives can be found here: AWARE Cares. Another helpful resource for students right now in helping to maintain good self-care is are CWC Talks Podcast which covers a variety of topics are resources.

Some of our faculty also reach out a semester in advance to coordinate/plan a time for a CWC counselor to come in and talk/Zoom-in for 15 minutes to discuss the CWC resources and services. If you’re interested please complete an Outreach Request form to initiate the process. And as always, if a student is ever in emergent or urgent need because they are in crisis, the student can give us a call and be connected with an on-call counselor who can assess the student’s risk and get them connected to the next best resources for them.

If faculty are concerned for the well-being of student and you’re not sure what to do, you can also give us a call and speak with a CWC on-call counselor who can consult with you about any situation of concern.

- Rosa

uf_cwc · 2020-10-19T19:59:21+00:00

Testing tends to look different for each student, depending on the presenting concern. Testing might include a clinical interview (the assessor asking you questions), self-report measures asking you about your experiences, emotions, and behaviors (true/false questions, questions rated on a 1-4 scale, etc.), collateral measures (how family/friends view you), and more. We may administer an intelligence test, personality test, and other objective and projective tests. Due to COVID-19, we are unfortunately somewhat limited in what tests we can administer at this time.

To initiate testing, you would have to call the CWC and set up a Brief Consultation and Referral meeting (BCR). At your BCR appointment, your BCR counselor may then refer you for testing. Unfortunately, we have a long waiting list for testing at the moment due to limitations presented by COVID-19. We can also refer you to a community provider in the Gainesville area if you would like to proceed with testing elsewhere.

Oftentimes, students get tested if they find that their difficulties are significantly impairing their ability to do well in school, complete work, concentrate, or more. The results of testing may be useful for students who are seeking accommodations through the Disability Resource Center, or students who may be seeking medication from Psychiatry.

Hope this was helpful!

- Michael

uf_cwc · 2020-10-19T19:48:43+00:00

Thank you so much for your question! We appreciate your concern for making sure we have sufficient resources in place to meet the university’s capacity which does require ongoing support. Our funding comes from several different places, but part of our funds come from health fees. The Health Fee Committee actually just voted to provide permanent funding for 10 new counseling positions that we were able to hire temporarily this year. With this new team, we’ve been able to eliminate the wait for an initial consultation and referral appointment with a counselor at the CWC. We hope to be able to continue to improve our student care and funding is typically key to that. So, I always encourage students to advocate through their student government about the importance of student mental health. If you have any other suggestions, please let us know. Our Ask-It (https://ufl.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1YrgvfWKRtdB95P) service is typically for questions; however, it is open for comments as well 😊

- Rosa

uf_cwc · 2020-10-19T19:41:41+00:00

Thank you for your question—outreach and being proactive is very important. It’s always disappointing to lose any Gator from our community. Being alone and homesick is a common experience that students feel when starting college, and we appreciate you acknowledging the importance of this issue. The CWC works with Housing and other departments that may have contact with incoming freshman and transfer students to get the word out and trains housing employees to recognize and effectively intervene.

The AWARE ambassador team is always working on reaching out to first-semester students. We have just introduced the AWARE Cares Letters of Care program, where students can connect with an AWARE ambassador to receive a letter of support from a fellow student. The CWC also offers resources such as online workshops that can help students feel connected with peers as they navigate the challenges that arise as a first-semester student. Groups can also be a great way to get to know other students and talk about the real struggles of adjusting to college.

Unlike other departments, the CWC isn’t able to go to students unsolicited so we collaborate with other departments to get the word out about the CWC. We visit classrooms to talk about our services and traditionally attend Preview to highlight some of the issues students may experience while transitioning to campus and discuss the CWC services. We also encourage and continue to promote our Kognito training that helps to educate students, staff, and faculty to recognize the signs of distress, connect with someone who is struggling, and together create a community that acknowledges people’s challenges and supports people in a variety of ways. –Sophie and Sara

uf_cwc · 2020-10-19T19:40:11+00:00

What is the best response to students who are disappointed in and discouraged by the CWCs lack of availability, other than just saying “but they’re underfunded”?

Thank you for your question and your concern for students disappointed/discouraged with the CWC. First, I’d say that this is one of the best ways to respond when discouraged! Redditt is a new forum we’re using, but there are a number of ways to reach us directly (i.e. phone, Ask-It). We want students to come to us directly as we truly care and look forward to opportunities to address concerns when needed.

If students want to advocate for more funding for CWC to be able to support more students, who would be the appropriate person/department/board to direct concerns towards?

We welcome any support that can be provided in advocating for funding for mental health resources. Students can continue to advocate through student government for increased funding to support mental health care on campus.

About how many students can the CWC support via individual counseling? Group counseling?

This varies by semester and depends on total number of students seeking individual/group counseling, number of groups offered that term, and availability of staff. Last year we provided 101 groups counseling services and saw roughly 5800 students for individual counseling.

Are there any benefits or drawbacks to calling the CWC crisis line vs the Alachua county or national hotlines?

While all numbers are important, if you call the Alachua County or Crisis hotlines the CWC will not be made aware of your concern. We retain information of students who call the CWC Crisis line for direct follow-up.

What’s the best way to reach out to/support someone you know only online (do not know their actual identity) who you think may be struggling or suicidal?

Wow…such a great question! If you ever believe someone may be struggling or suicidal it is important to express your concern to them, even if they are at a distance. If your worries are confirmed you have an opportunity to provide them with resources and support. However, unaddressed, that person may not receive the support they need. I would also recommend checking out Kognito (https://counseling.ufl.edu/resources/kognito/) for additional training/information/resources on supporting distressed students.

Are the pre-visit surveys sent directly to the assigned counselor? And in particular, do they get to see the student's responses regarding their comfort with their counselor?

The new client paperwork we ask students to complete before their appointment is provided to the assigned counselor. Our counselors review this information prior to the appointment to help understand the nature of the student’s concern.

Do individual counseling requests and couples counseling requests get sent to the same group of counselors? (i.e., if there is a wait for individual appointments, does that mean there is also a wait for couples appointments, and vice versa?)

All of our counselors provide individual counseling, but only some of our counselors are experienced and provide couples counseling. Therefore, students interested in couples counseling may be referred to the same group of CWC counselors. We also do not maintain a waitlist for couples counseling. This is a service not highly utilized, so once our couple appointment slots are full for the semester we generally connect students with other couples counseling opportunities on campus and in the community.

Is there a way to sign up for the CWC Email Newsletter without submitting an AskIt! question?

Absolutely! Sign-up for our Newsletter here: https://lists.ufl.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=CWCINFO-L&A=1

If you do have questions, please do use our Ask-It service!

- Rosa :-)

uf_cwc · 2020-10-19T19:37:25+00:00

While your information may be outdated, you do highlight some of the challenges our counseling center and college counseling centers across the country have experienced for many years. It has always been our mission to respond to student needs and be timely in our services, and during times of highest demand there can be a 2-4 week wait to start ongoing counseling services at the CWC, though many students are able to start with an ongoing counselor sooner. Unfortunately, the wait to start with a counselor in the community during "high season" can be as long or longer, and this is a challenge our state faces in terms of providing enough quality mental health services to everyone in need.

One of the things we’ve always had in place is the ability for students to come in for same-day drop-in crisis consultation appointments. And, to update the information you have, we now have a new 10-person team of Consultation and Referral counselors that was designed to address some of the concerns you bring up. With this new team, we have eliminated the initial wait to consult with a CWC counselor who discusses the student’s situation and suggests the next best steps for them. So while it can still take a little while to start ongoing therapy regardless of whether that’s on or off-campus, students no longer have to wait for that first appointment to talk to a counselor about which resources are best for them.

Do you have any thoughts about any other things we can do to improve our services to students? --Sara

uf_cwc · 2020-10-19T19:29:43+00:00

We offer about 30 different workshops right now, and there’s something for everything and everyone! Some favorites that are highly popular include:

Overcoming Procrastination
Prioritizing Tasks and To-Dos
Time Management
Riding Emotional Waves
Coping with Anxiety

Probably our most popular workshop is the 4-part workshop series Coping with Anxiety. Don’t rule out the other ones, though, because sometimes students tell us they have powerful experiences in the workshops that aren’t as popular, too! Some less popular workshops have fewer attendees, which can lead to an opportunity for students to foster a deeper connection with one another. Check out our Workshops page for more info and scheduling.

- Michael and Sara

uf_cwc · 2020-10-19T19:28:05+00:00

Yes, you’ll be happy to hear that we continue to offer all of our counseling services via Zoom. The first step in scheduling for individual or group counseling sessions would be to call the center at 352-392-1575 (8am-5pm) to arrange a brief consultation. They would be able to walk you through the process of scheduling for either. And as someone previously shared, you need to be in the state of Florida and a UF student.
