Social Work Services & Wellness Coaching
Student Seeking Social Work Services or Wellness Coaching?
Meet with a Social Work intern to address resources you are seeking related to mental health, food, shelter, clothing, money etc.
The UNM Student Well-Being team, housed within the Dean of Students Office, recognizes that students' ability to succeed academically is often connected to their overall well-being and access to basic needs. We believe every student should feel comfortable seeking support and connecting with resources, regardless of their circumstances.
Through our team of social work interns and wellness coaches, UNM students can receive individualized, compassionate, and confidential support in navigating challenges that may affect their academic experience and overall well-being. Our goal is to help students identify their needs, explore available resources, and develop a plan to address challenges so they can remain engaged and successful at UNM.
Students can receive assistance with a variety of needs, including but not limited to:
- Basic Needs and Public Benefits: Assistance navigating and applying for SNAP (food assistance), Medicaid, WIC, childcare resources, housing resources, and transportation assistance.
- Financial Support: Help identifying available scholarships, emergency financial assistance, and other community and university resources.
- Case Management and Resource Navigation: Individualized support connecting students with university departments, community organizations, and public benefit programs.
- Personal Well-Being: Support through wellness coaching, helping students identify challenges, explore strategies, set goals, and connect with appropriate resources.
- Adverse Circumstance Support: Assistance navigating difficult or unexpected circumstances that may affect a student's safety, stability, or ability to continue their education.
