1:1 Services
Sometimes things in life get in the way of taking care of ourselves – including prioritizing our wellness and well-being. We understand that college students frequently go through life transitions which may require a little extra support. We are here to help.
Life Coaching
What is Life Coaching?
Life Coaching: Learn. Inspire. Flourish. Engage.
Life Coaching is a private, one-on-one conversation with a trained coach that empowers students to explore strategies to support their holistic wellness and well-being. Through Life Coaching, students will pause, reflect, and identify strategies that align with their goals, values, strengths, and overall well-being with the support of a trained staff member. Coaching provides a supportive space for students to explore areas such as connection, stress management, balance, personal growth, and more.
What makes Life Coaching different?
- Life Coaching is student-centered and collaborative. Rather than telling students what they should do, coaches help students identify what matters to them, explore possibilities, and develop strategies that feel realistic and meaningful.
- Life Coaching is not clinical or counseling and is not intended to diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Instead, it offers an additional layer of support focused on personal growth.
- Life Coaching is open and available to any student who wants to invest in their well-being, explore a challenge, work toward a goal, or simply make the most of their college experience.
- Participants can expect:
- To learn more about themselves, their strengths, and to support their well-being journey
- To develop new skills to help them flourish and thrive at WCU and beyond
- To challenge themselves (and be gently challenged by their coach) to step outside their comfort zone and overcome limits
Life Coaching is: free, short-term, private, action-oriented growth relating to a specific area of wellness and well-being identified by the student. Meetings are 30-60 minutes.
Life Coaching is NOT: a substitute for licensed mental health services, diagnosis or treatment, or a long-term commitment.
BASICS/CASICS
What is BASICS/CASICS?
Are you interested in learning more about your relationship with alcohol or cannabis in a non-judgmental environment? BASICS (Brief Alcohol Screening & Intervention for College Students) and CASICS (Brief Cannabis Screening & Intervention for College Students) are individual conversations with one of our trained staff members about substance use. BASICS and CASICS consist of two sessions, each 45-60 minutes in length. Through the BASICS and CASICS programs, students gain insight into their substance use behaviors, receive personalized feedback about their patterns of use, learn accurate information about substance use to make the best personal decisions regarding use, and receive strategies to reduce current and future risk. BASICS and CASICS programs are free and open to any student. To learn more about BASICS and CASICS, check out this brief video about the programs:
