You're not alone. We're here to help.
UF Counseling
The University of Florida Student Health Care Center (SHCC) and the Counseling and Wellness Center (CWC) offers several options for traditional, couples, and group therapy to help students cope with all aspects of graduate life. These visits are covered under Gator Grad Care, and are available to all UF GPBMS students at any point in their academic career.
Wellness at the College of Medicine

Create a Wellness Prescription to set realistic goals for yourself. There are also programs, services, and resources in the Resource Hub.
UF Employee Assistance Program
The UF Employee Assistance Program (EAP) offers a form of counseling services specifically for UF Employees, which includes all GPBMS students with a GA appointment. You will get a faster response than seeking help from the CWC, especially in semesters were undergrads are in.
Gator Grad Care
Not feeling like yourself? You can use a service called Talkspace to send text, video and audio messages or schedule live video sessions with a dedicated therapist via phone, tablet or computer. Available at no cost, Talkspace online therapy is available to graduate assistants, their spouses and dependents 18 years or older enrolled in GatorGradCare.
