OVERALL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING

EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING

UNIVERSITY COUNSELING CENTER

The Counseling Center is available to help you with personal and emotional concerns—no topic is too small or too large. With a variety of services and resources, the Counseling Center helps students function optimally with regard to emotional, academic, social and psychological issues.


STUDENT LIFE MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING COMMITTEE

VILLANOVA ATHLETICS: UNITAS—EVERY MIND MATTERS

The UNITAS group, Every Mind Matters, was formed to increase mental health awareness and advocacy within the athletic department. Student-athletes work alongside faculty and staff to create initiatives and resources for the athletics community to better understand and support their mental health.


CARE TEAM: CONCERNS AND REVIEW COMMITTEE

The CARE Committee brings together administrators from Student Life, Public Safety, the Counseling Center, and Academic Affairs to offer an informed and caring response to students of concern. While most students’ needs are addressed through the routine functioning of the University, some students may require further attention. CARE discusses exceptional cases involving undergraduate and graduate students presenting concerns that are best addressed by the combined attention of these University offices.

CULTURAL WELL-BEING

OFFICE OF INTERCULTURAL AFFAIRS

OIA supports Villanova's VU Pride, OASIS and Safe Zone programs for LGBTQIA+ students, faculty, staff and allies, and the Association for Change and Transformation, among others.


OFFICE FOR RESIDENCE LIFE
