How can BeWellUGA help you?

BeWellUGA serves as a central mental health and wellness resource for the UGA campus community.

  1. Where can I find free workshops, classes, or services focusing on wellness and mental health, led by clinicians or health educators that can provide me with tools to manage my stress, anxiety, relationships, etc.?
  2. Do you have any virtual programs, resources, or services related to wellness and mental health?
  3. Where do I obtain counseling and therapy?
  4. I am a student leader (or UGA faculty/staff member). How do I request a health educator/clinician-led wellness program or training for my group?
