PHHP UPTurn Goals
Our program aims to support and enhance the wellness of undergraduate and doctoral/professional students within the College of Public Health and Health Professions (PHHP).
The goal of our program is to create pathways to support the overall wellness of PHHP students. Our advisors collaborate with students to connect them to UF and community services and resources to address concerns that may be affecting their academic performance and overall wellness.
Some of the specific ways that we can help you include:
- Connecting you with psychotherapy resources in the community
- Providing psychoeducation about how to improve your academic performance, stress, overall health, and wellness
- Helping you problem-solve concerns you have about your academic experience at UF, stress, overall health, and wellness
- Helping you navigate student services on campus
