Student Health & Counseling Services

 

Welcome to the Student Health and Counseling Services website.  Our staff is committed to providing you and all students attending The Claremont Colleges the highest quality health care. There are three Claremont University Consortium (CUC) departments that provide student health and counseling services:

These programs are located on the first floor of the Tranquada Student Services Center at 757 College Way.

 

Each of these services practice within a health and wellness model.  In its broadest sense, wellness is an approach to health that focuses on balancing the social, mental, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of a student’s life.

Our goal is to provide you an opportunity to learn about and develop health enhancing practices that will remain with you throughout your life.  Here are some basic beliefs about health that guide us in the implementation of this approach.

  • Health is an integrated expression of biological, psychological, social and spiritual factors. Wellness is a holistic philosophy of health holding that all these factors need to be considered when assessing the health of an individual.
  • The natural tendency of the body is to restore and maintain health.
  • Optimal health is unique for any single individual.
  • Health is the result of a relationship between the practitioner and patient with the goal being more healthful living through improved relationships, nutritional habits, constructive exercise, stress management, etc.

  • The practitioner in this model not only treats disease/illness but also facilitates optimal health through patient education.
