Clinical Careers in Student Well-Being
Student Well-Being
Student Well-Being is one of five core areas in the University’s Office for Student Success. It is comprised of a dynamic team of professionals who represent a sophisticated three-tier prevention and wellness infrastructure at the state’s flagship institution. Committed to advancing the health and wellness of all students through providing education, advocacy, coaching, clinical support, crisis intervention, and more, the area’s seven units assist students in essential ways.
Units within Student Well-Being include longstanding teams in Campus Recreation, Financial Wellness, Disability Resources, Violence Intervention and Prevention, and the Counseling Center. Additionally, two newly created units are expanding the area’s capacity to meet student needs: the T.R.A.C.S. Hub (Triage, Referral and Crisis Support) and P.O.W.E.R. Center (Prevention, Outreach, and Wellness Education Resources).
