Student Wellness

Our team of professionals within student wellness work together to offer support and resources around all dimensions of wellness. We know that students have a lot on their plates, and we want to help. Our wellness case managers can help students navigate, learn about, and access available resources and supports, both on and off campus. We can also help students understand campus policies and learn how to advocate for themselves. Some examples of what we support students with:

• Personal and family crises
• Mental health or physical health concerns
• Basic needs insecurities (e.g. food, housing, transportation resources)
• Helping students understand academic policies and advocate for themselves (taking a leave of absence, communicating with faculty, etc.)
• Other disruptive events or assistance with general wellness needs
• Connection to resources, including Counseling and Health Services, Disability Services, Financial Aid, Academic Advising, as well as off-campus community organizations

How does it work?

• Case management services are available for students of all identities, including undergraduate and graduate students.
• We can connect virtually, in-person, by phone, or via email during business hours (Mon-Fri 8:30am-5pm)
• We can meet one time or as many times as needed
• It’s free, no insurance is needed
• We are private (not confidential) resources. That means we communicate with others on a “need to know” basis under FERPA.

Contact a Wellness Case Manager

• Students and community members can email careandconcern@salemstate.edu to get connected to a wellness case manager.
