Did you know VT has a plethora of resources available for students related to their well-being? Check out what we have to offer below and share with a Hokie you know!
Residential Well-being
What is RWB? It starts with our belief that maintaining student wellness is a priority in our community. We want to help Hokies find the necessary resources to achieve their goals, so we offer a variety of workshops, programs, services, and events to help them on that wellness journey! Students can take the first step towards progressing or maintaining your well-being with our services below.
Hokie Wellness
Hokie Wellness can answer questions about many types of well-being — finances, sex, sleep, mental health, understanding alcohol, substance misuse, and digital wellness. No matter what the wellness topic is, Hokie Wellness gives students the knowledge, skills, and opportunities to make quality health decisions and learn how to live healthy lives!
We encourage Hokies to take an active and engaging day-to-day approach to their wellness in order to enjoy a long, healthful, and purpose-filled life. We support this goal by providing classes, workshops, coaching, and outreach in the community. Check out what we have to offer on our Hokie Wellness page.
Cook counseling Center
Cook Counseling Center offers students mental health and other services that allow for a flexible, multi-faceted approach to meet emerging and varying needs.
How can students get started at Cook Counseling Center?
- Schedule a Cook Connect Session by calling the Center’s office at 540-231-6557
- A Cook Connect (triage) clinician will typically have an appointment available within 2-3 business days
- The first session will be a 20-30 minute meeting where the clinician will hear student concerns, discuss available resources, and collaborate with the student to develop a plan that will provide the support they need. The clinician will help students schedule follow-up sessions if needed.
What services do we offer?
At the first appointment, the student will discuss available services with a counselor. These include:
- Individual counseling
- Couples counseling (both members of the couple must be enrolled VT students)
- Consultation with students and parents
- Groups and workshops
- Psychiatry / Medication management
- Referral to appropriate campus offices
- Referral to off-campus providers
- Support groups and workshops.
