We have school counselors available to students free of charge. Our on-campus counselor has an office on campus and is available for unlimited visits (with reasonable scheduling frequency). Online students can work with our teletherapy partner, UWill, which connects students with licensed counselors for free 30-minute discussions up to 12 times an academic year. This service is available 24/7, and 100% of users who requested same-day services were satisfied, including students in 40 states and 3 different countries. Moreover, students who requested counselors from a certain ethnic background had their requests met. Out of 814 feedback submissions in the last two years, students have rated Uwill consults with a 9.4/10 satisfaction rating.
