Overview of the Center for Counseling & Well-being (CCW)
The Center for Counseling & Well-being (CCW) at the Universities at Shady Grove includes the counseling center, recreation center, and well-being programming. The mission of the CCW has always involved "fostering learning, growth, wellness and success throughout the campus community." While it has had this holistic perspective on personal and interpersonal well-being from the start, the CCW has recently broadened its offerings to develop a Recreation & Well-being arm, in addition to its traditional counseling services. The establishment of Recreation & Well-being is part of the shift at USG to a Career Readiness model, and this evolution at the Center includes increasing staff, incorporating the campus' Student Recreation Center, creating a Relaxation Room, and initiating an array of well-being services. We hope you will check out our wide variety of counseling, workshop, and wellness programs, which are all completely free.
