The UAMS Northwest Wellness Program promotes “Wellness” as the idea of being able to balance more than just physical and medical health, but integrate your values, life meaning, finances, occupation, social life, intellect, technology, emotions, and environment into your chosen lifestyle.
Clinical Services
The UAMS Northwest Regional Campus Wellness Program provides free and confidential counseling and psychiatric services. Students seek help for stress, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship conflicts, academic difficulties, test anxiety, and many other issues interfering with daily life.
We offer therapy, psychiatric evaluation, and medication management services in a safe and nurturing environment to actively enrolled UAMS students, residents, and their partners.
You must first schedule an intake appointment with the wellness counselor and receive a referral prior to seeing the wellness psychiatrist.
