NEWBERRY — Newberry College has partnered with Christie Campus Health to offer Wolf Wellness, providing students with mental health counseling services 24 hours a day.

Free to students, the program offers accessible, confidential and skilled counseling, in addition to on-campus resources already available through the Office of Health & Counseling Services and the campus pastor. Wolf Wellness can be accessed by calling 833.434.1217.

“Students today are often faced with a number of challenges involving academic pressure, adjusting to college life, grief and loss, financial stressors, as well as mental health concerns,” said Ashley Williams '11, director of health and counseling services. “At Newberry College, caring for the whole student is our goal. This partnership will provide additional support to students, allowing them access to trained counselors 24/7. Wolf Wellness offers a safe and confidential space for students to discuss their concerns, obtain emotional support and explore options for seeking professional help.”

The program provides resources outside the college’s regular business hours, and counselors have a network of local professionals to whom students can be referred for advanced or ongoing support. Many students also prefer speaking with professionals remotely, instead of going for an in-person visit.

Wolf Wellness services are available to current students wherever they are, and even when classes aren't in session, such as during breaks and holidays.
