Both coaching and counseling can be incredibly valuable for students. If you think you’d like to seek treatment for a mental health concern, please contact the Counseling Center at 912-478-5541 on the Statesboro campus or 912-344-2529 on the Armstrong campus, or explore the Counseling Center’s website.
Wellness coaching and feedback sessions are free only if the student attends their scheduled session. There is a $10.00 cost associated with wellness coaching for “no shows”. Students who miss their scheduled appointment will be asked to pay $10.00 before being permitted to reschedule. A “no show” shall be defined as a student who:
- Fails to cancel their appointment at least two hours prior to their scheduled appointment start time
- Arrives more than 10 minutes late for an appointment
- Does not present for their appointment at all

Wellness coaches will not diagnose medical conditions, will not prescribe treatment or remedies, and recommend consulting a physician or a licensed mental therapist if you suspect a disease or ailment. Wellness coaches will refer to outside professionals when indicated and/or will refer cases which they professionally qualified to address. Wellness Coaches should not be regarded as registered dietitians, certified fitness professionals or licensed mental health professionals.
