All sessions are held in the Center for Health Education and Wellness (CHEW), located on the second floor of the Student Health Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A peer wellness coach meets each student in a private and comfortable setting for about 30 minutes. Sessions will focus on overall wellness, setting a specific goal, and developing an action plan. A follow-up session will be scheduled two weeks later to review the goal and action plan or provide additional guidance if needed. Sessions will last for around 30 minutes where the coach will discuss with you your overall wellness, focus on a specific wellness goal, and help create an action plan to help you achieve that goal. You will then schedule a follow up session two weeks later to check in with your coach about your goal progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull utkwds-billboard has-light-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-b8aeb31c wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--x-large);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--x-large);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--x-large);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--x-large)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-65f56a5c wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can I sign up?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column utkwds-billboard-divider has-orange-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:2px\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-container-core-column-is-layout-8ff61abe wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Complete the consent and intake form.
