The Counseling Center offers a wide range of services and resources designed to help students be successful academically, individually, and socially during their time at SGSC. Counseling services are free and confidential to all enrolled SGSC students.
We are pleased to announce a partnership with Uwill, the leading student mental health and wellness solution. Uwill offers students free immediate access to teletherapy, a direct crisis connection, and wellness programming through its easy to use online platform.
To schedule teletherapy:

Uwill also provides students free access to on-demand wellness programming through its easy to use online platform. Select wellness from the left navigation and relax and recharge your mind and body with a wide range of wellness such as yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and more! Allow Uwill to help you discover greater focus and balance as you navigate the semester.
Mission:
To provide short term counseling and support services to meet the personal, social, and educational needs of students enrolled at SGSC.
All shared information during counseling sessions will be kept confidential. This includes sharing information with the student’s parents, school faculty, staff, friends, etc. If it is important for us to discuss your care with anyone outside of the Counseling Center, written consent is required.
Georgia law outlines a protected relationship between counselors and their clients. This privileged relationship means that clinicians may not reveal or be compelled by law to reveal any communication, observation, assessment, or other information gained as a result of the treatment relationship. Information conveyed to the Counseling Center by someone other than yourself is not considered confidential and may be shared directly with you. Privileged communication between you and your counselor may be waived by a judge in child custody adoption cases, in lawsuits where mental condition is an important consideration, or in criminal lawsuits.
Uwill is Private. Secure. Confidential.
