Health and Wellness Center

The University Of Olivet Health and Wellness Center mission is to strengthen and support our students in all areas of wellness to help students thrive. We recognize the negative impact on health and wellness created by racism and discrimination in any form. We are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in everything we do.

 

The Health and Wellness Center, located in Mott Academic Center room 212, is the wellness warehouse for three service areas designed to help maintain a healthy lifestyle: counseling and psychological services, health services and wellness services.

 

 

COUNSELING AND PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES (CAPS)

 

There are times when everyone needs a little support. Sometimes a student needs assistance in developing an action plan to resolve an issue, discuss a concern, process a transition, or learn a skill or technique to reduce stress. There are other instances where the struggle may go a little deeper.  With any of these circumstances, a free confidential intake assessment completed by a licensed professional counselor is available to students. Through this confidential intake assessment, the student and clinician will develop a support plan together.  

 

At the completion of the assessment, any necessary referrals to the appropriate resource will occur. University Of Olivet students may be eligible for up to 5 free counseling sessions at the Health and Wellness Center, depending on the need and treatment plan determined at the intake assessment. Service referrals off-campus are also available for students needing ongoing treatment or support.

 

Group counseling services are also available for various topics through out the week. Information pertaining to these groups is available through the email counseling@uolivet.edu. Information about the groups are posted throughout the college campus, including the bulletin board area outside the Health and Wellness Center.

 

To request and/or schedule an assessment please email counseling@uolivet.edu. Students will receive a reply within 24 hours to this email to set up the initial appointment.

 

If you are experiencing a mental health emergency or need immediate support, please contact the 24-hour crisis services hotline through Clinton-Eaton-Ingham Community Mental Health at 517-346-8318 or you can text the National Crisis text line at 741741 and text the word “Hello”.

 

HEALTH SERVICES

 

The University Of Olivet and Sparrow Health System have partnered together to provide virtual health services through MySparrow to students, faculty, and staff. MySparrow services include a symptom checker to determine if COVID testing is needed; access to on-demand video visits with an urgent care provider from your smartphone, tablet, or computer for non-emergencies. Access to test results provided thru MySparrow are also available through the virtual health service site. Virtual health visits are available Monday through Sunday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

 

The Health and Wellness Center can assist students in scheduling their appointments if a student would like assistance. There is also a telemedicine station available at the Health and Wellness Center to facilitate privacy and confidentiality for medical appointments if students chose to come to the Wellness Center for their appointment. Prior to a video visit, please have information regarding your insurance plan available to ensure your insurance provider participates with Sparrow or call 517-364-7999 to speak to a billing representative.

WELLNESS SERVICES

 

Each semester the Health and Wellness Center offers presentations and workshops on various wellness topics within eight dimensions of wellness. New programs are offered during the year in response to student and faculty requests or needs. These services are provided to support students in their personal and academic success. The Wellness Center partners with other departments and areas within the university, as wellness, is an individual pursuit supported at the university thru a comprehensive and collaborative approach.

 

On ongoing service thru the Health and Wellness Center is The Mind Spa. This is a private, safe space for relaxation and wellness at no charge to students, faculty, and staff. The Mind Spa is located within the Health and Wellness Center and provides many tools and resources to practice mindfulness, manage stress, and recharge.

Please note: Students’ health insurance will be billed when seen by a medical professional. Depending on the therapeutic need and referral, some of mental health providers will also bill insurance. Most forms of insurance are accepted. Students are responsible for all expenses related to treatment, including co-pays and tests. All costs accrued due to medical and/or safety reasons are the student's responsibility. Students may choose to see their own primary care physician or counselor.  These visits can also be facilitated at one of the telemedicine stations within the Health and Wellness Center for privacy and confidentiality. Students are responsible for following their doctor’s instructions.

 

The University Of Olivet and its employees are not responsible for administering, storing, managing, or providing any medication.
