Nestled in the heart of Winter Park, Florida, at 118 West Fairbanks Avenue, lies a dedicated space focused on nurturing the well-being of its community: the Wellness Center. It's a place designed to be a resource, a support system, and a quiet corner for those seeking to enhance their overall health.
Open Monday through Friday, from 8:30 AM to 5 PM during the Fall and Spring semesters, the center is a consistent presence for students. It's important to note that services are not available during the summer months, specifically June and July, so planning ahead is key if you're looking for support during that time.
Life, of course, doesn't always adhere to a schedule, and emergencies can arise. In those critical moments, immediate action is paramount. For any life-threatening or medical emergency, the universal call is 911. When it comes to mental health emergencies, the options expand to ensure help is accessible. Again, 911 is a primary contact. Additionally, there's the 24/7 Rollins Mental Health Helpline at 407-646-1516, a direct line to support. For broader crisis intervention, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available, and for immediate text-based support, texting HOME to 741741 can connect you with help.
For those on campus experiencing a mental health emergency during regular operating hours (Monday-Friday, 8:30 AM to 5 PM), reaching out directly to the Wellness Center is an option. After hours, the 24/7 Rollins Mental Health Helpline remains the go-to resource, designed to connect you with a counselor swiftly.
Understanding that well-being encompasses both physical and mental health, the Wellness Center offers services through Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) and Health Services. What's particularly convenient is the flexibility in how you can access these services; appointments can be conducted either in person or virtually, catering to different needs and preferences. It's a thoughtful approach to making support as accessible as possible.
