Health and Wellness
University Counseling Center
The University Counseling Center (UCC) works with campus and community partners to provide holistic, inclusive, and accessible mental health and prevention services to support the academic and personal success of Vanderbilt’s diverse student community. The UCC promotes social justice and an affirming caring culture through clinical, outreach, consultation, and training services. Each student is unique both in terms of their identity and lived experiences, and the UCC works with its partners to provide a comprehensive pathway of support options that are flexible and attentive to each individual’s particular needs, opportunities, and challenges.
Center for Student Wellbeing
The Center for Student Wellbeing is committed to helping students thrive within the Vanderbilt community and maintain lifelong wellness practices. They help support students in distress, foster community through meaningful connections, and help students who may need assistance in a variety of areas, including:
- self-care and personal growth
- intellectual progress
- mindfulness and reflection
- physical and emotional health
- alcohol and other drug education and recovery support
University Chaplain & Religious Life
The Office of the University Chaplain and Religious Life nurtures an inclusive "community of communities" consisting of diverse religious, spiritual, and secular perspectives, wisdom traditions, and worldviews. All students, faculty, postdoctoral scholars, and staff are invited to experience hospitality, to engage in discovery, and to practice generosity.
Project Safe
The mission of the Project Safe Center is to provide information, support, referrals, and education about sexual and intimate partner violence (including sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking), as well as consent, healthy relationships, and healthy sexuality to the Vanderbilt University community. Project Safe serves as a central resource for those impacted by sexual and intimate partner violence and can assist with navigating the university’s resource and support network (including the University Counseling Center, Student Health, the Title IX Office, Equal Employment Opportunity Office, the Employee Assistance Program, and the Vanderbilt University Police Department), as well as external support and law enforcement resources.
