Lawson State Community College has announced an exciting partnership with Uwill, a leading provider of student mental health solutions. Uwill will offer comprehensive mental health and wellness services to its students. This initiative comes at no cost to students and provides access to private, secure, and confidential support through the Uwill online platform.
Recognizing the importance of mental wellness, Dr. Cyrus Vance, LSCC Dean of Students, stated, “Our students understand that safeguarding their mental health and wellness is just as important as caring for their physical health, and we are here to support them.” The partnership aims to address rising mental health concerns among college students. This includes general anxiety and family distress, which the Center for Collegiate Mental Health have been identified as significant issues.
Uwill’s offerings include free teletherapy, a direct crisis connection, and a variety of wellness options, making it a valuable addition to LSCC’s existing Health and Wellness team. “For some students, managing the pressures of attending college, working, and other obligations can be stressful,” Dr. Vance added. “We are pleased to provide Uwill services and wellness programming to address what students manage and what they are feeling.”
The Uwill platform allows LSCC students to select therapists according to their preferences and schedules. In addition to teletherapy, students can engage in wellness programs focusing on yoga, mindfulness, and meditation.
Importantly, the services offered through Uwill are also available to Lawson State faculty and staff. However, those facing medical emergencies are urged to call 911.
