Wellness & Prevention Services

Welcome!

Wellness and Prevention Services is open and serving students during the Covid-19 pandemic. Most of our services have moved online, so that all of our students, no matter where they may be, can access them safely. Please visit our Covid-19 webpage to see how to get connected. This page will be updated on a regular basis as we are able to add details and more programming. Questions? Email us at wellness@appstate.edu.

Wellness and Prevention Services is not a primary care facility. Student Health Services serves as App State's primary care provider. Please contact Student Health Services at (828) 262-3100 for questions regarding COVID-19 testing or other physician-related services.

It is our mission to serve all students through the promotion of healthy behaviors, risk behavior modification services, and advocacy for campus-wide health policies which facilitate student success and holistic well-being. We offer services promoting health awareness and active lifestyles while taking a holistic approach to wellness, encompassing the following eight dimensions:

The Department of Wellness and Prevention Services offers educational programs on topics such as nutrition, sexual health, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, stress, and sleep. The Department hosts events designed to empower students about the importance of self-care. We also offer a variety of individual and group services for students to help them maintain wellness throughout their college careers. Individual therapy, nutrition assessments, and a resource library are just some of the many services offered to students.
