CWS provides individual counseling, couples counseling, medication evaluations and medication  management, and groups and workshops, as well as education and health promotion in the areas of nutrition, alcohol and substance use, massage and stress management, sexual behavior, and outreach and events.

Individual Counseling
Your initial appointment will be spent exploring your current problems and needs, and determining how we can be of help to you.  At this first visit, a plan to address your concerns will be suggested.  This plan might include:

• Brief, focused therapy at CWS
  
• Follow up visits to address an acute stress
• Participation in a group or workshop at CWS
• Evaluation for medication, if desired
• Referral to other services on campus or off campus
  

Groups and Workshops
Participating in a group therapy is a powerful mode for growth and change. Students in groups give each other significant understanding, support, and encouragement in facing similar issues.  They also gain different and valuable perspectives, ideas, and viewpoints on those issues.

Couples Counseling
When the focus of concern is a relationship issue or decision and both partners are motivated to address this, couples therapy may be an efficient way to proceed.  CWS can provide brief or time limited couples therapy.

Medication Management Services
Counseling and Wellness Services (CWS) provides extended medication management services to UNC students who have paid their student health fee.  CWS has increased its psychiatry staff in order to provide medication evaluation and management to as many students as possible without referring them to outside providers.  This is a clear advantage to students who can now receive their psychiatric service in one facility. 

Human Sexuality Services
Counseling and Wellness Services provides Sexual Health Education services and HIV testing through the Carolina Health Education Counselors for Sexuality (CHECS) Clinic. CHECS clinic services are available to UNC students, and include HIV testing, individual consultation, small group programs by request, and campus wide programs throughout the year. For more information on these services, please see the "Human Sexuality" link on the left menu bar. 

Substance Abuse Services
Counseling and Wellness Services provides comprehensive alcohol, tobacco, and drug use awarness and prevention programs for UNC students. Our programs include individual assessments and counseling, alcohol education classes (court and/or university mandated), campus wide events, and small group presentations by request. For more information on a specific program, please choose the "Substance Abuse Prevention Program" link on the left menu bar. 


Nutrition Services
CWS interns provide individual nutrition consultations. We work with students to identify personal goals and make a diet plan that best suits your lifestyle and goals. Whether it’s burning fat, gaining muscle, or maintaining a healthy weight, we can help you make a plan. To make an appointment for an individual consultation, call 966-3658.

If you have nutritional needs more clinical in nature such as allergies, diabetes, or other medical concerns please call the Campus Health Services central appointments line at 966-2281 for an appointment with the CHS clinical nutritionist.

Student athletes interested in an appointment with the sports nutritionist may call 966-3658.

Massage Services
CWS offers massage therapy services for students who have paid the Campus Health Fee. Appointments for individual massage can be scheduled for a fee, or you can request a massage therapy outreach presentation/program. Call 966-3658 to schedule an individual massage appointment. 

Outreach and Events
Throughout the year, CWS hosts major events on campus to address health issues pertinent to college students. Events include information fairs, walk-in HIV testing days, and skill building activities. Check our website throughout the year for upcoming programs and events.
