Mission & Philosophy Statement

  • Mission Statement

    The Student Health, Wellness and Counseling Center (SHWCC) at °ÅÀÖÊÓÆµ provides integrative care and support that fosters student growth and development at multiple levels – physical, psychological, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual. Our medical, behavioral and counseling services are offered in a respectful and non-judgmental environment that embraces the diverse cultures, ethnicities, beliefs and backgrounds of our college community. We understand each student brings with them a lifetime of experiences, sometimes traumatic, which impact the ability to function to the fullest potential.

    Utilizing a team approach to student care, we promote prevention strategies in addition to providing immediate and ongoing treatment. We encourage students’ engagement in the pursuit of well-being and help them to develop skills that will facilitate lifelong healthy habits and choices.

  • Philosophy Statement

    For many, college is a time of personal growth and discovery. Behaviors that impact health and well-being are developed, practiced and either discarded or adopted. College is a time for students to try new approaches to managing their own physical and mental health and define wellness on their own terms. °ÅÀÖÊÓÆµ Student Health, Wellness and Counseling Center strives to provide evidence-based, best practices to inform choices students make about their health. We are here to provide both direct care as well as opportunities to engage in healthy lifestyle choices in a safe, supportive and occasionally, FUN, out of the classroom environment.
