The Student Wellness Center will begin our Autumn 2025 Coaching Services on Tuesday September 2nd! We know the semester can present a number of challenges for students and our services are designed to support student success. As a reminder, we house 4 peer coaching programs each with a different goal:
- Scarlet and Gray Financial Coaching - For students looking for support on financial education and behaviors. Common topics include budgeting, baking, credit and credit cards, saving for purchases and emergencies, investing and retirement, and financial insecurity.
- Nutrition Coaching - Helps students explore their eating habits, find balance, and meet their nutrition needs through personalized education and collaborative goal setting.
- Wellness Coaching - Supports students with identifying opportunities for improving their holistic wellness in all dimensions. Commons areas of support include relationships, academics, stress, transitions, and balance in different settings.
- BASICS/CASICS - These programs are offered for all Ohio State students who may want to explore their alcohol and drug use, but the goal of the program is to reduce risky behaviors and harmful consequences of alcohol or cannabis abuse.
Our services are offered Monday-Friday during SWC business hours - appointments are 45-minutes long and students can see a coach within 48-hours. We are also excited to be sharing space in the Buckeye Commons with opportunities for drop-in coaching - information will be shared soon! Students can get connected with appointments on the SWC website.
