Self-Care: These short, self-guided wellness courses can be accessed anytime, anywhere. Learn to reduce your stress, regulate your emotions, build healthier relationships, and get through difficult situations.
Emotional Wellness Coaching:This short-term, goal-oriented intervention is best for students wanting self-management strategies. You’ll get matched with a dedicated and experienced coach who will teach you key skills and work with you through 8-12 weeks of sessions.
Productivity Coaching:This program focuses on improving executive functioning skills. Working with a dedicated coach, you can tackle time management, organization, planning, problem solving, and more.
Therapy and Psychiatry: Enjoy one-on-one sessions with a dedicated, highly trained, culturally-informed provider who understands your unique experience and can help you assess and manage your mental health concerns. (Psychiatry services require a referral from a Student Care Network or Mantra provider.)

Student Care Coordination (SCC) is committed to helping students connect with the right support, in the right place, at the right time. Depending on your needs, the right support may include connecting with a therapist to help you meet your personal and/or academic goals.
We recognize that some students may wish or need to have therapy more frequently or for a longer duration of time than the UCC can provide. In these instances, connecting with a therapy provider off-campus in the Nashville community or in another location may be the best place for you to receive support more frequently or for a longer period of time, or if you are not in Tennessee.
