Wellbeing Coaching

Student Wellness offers several different wellbeing coaching programs that students can enroll in for support.

Wellbeing Coaching

A confidential, student-to-student program focused on holistic wellbeing. It is not counseling or medical treatment - instead, it offers a safe, supportive space for students to explore areas of wellbeing that may be impacting their lives, learn about available resources, and identify personalized next steps. Coaching sessions use motivational interviewing techniques to help students reflect on their values, strengths, and goals across various dimensions of wellbeing.

Interested students can get started by completing the Self-Assessment by going to go.iastate.edu/WellbeingAssessment or emailing wellbeingcoach@iastate.edu.

BASICS/CASICS

BASICS (Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students) and CASICS (Cannabis Screening and Intervention for College Students) are evidence-based harm reduction programs designed to support students in exploring their relationship with alcohol or cannabis. These are two-session programs facilitated in a non-judgmental environment. Through personalized feedback based on interviews and self-assessments, students are empowered to make informed decisions and reduce risky behaviors. These programs are not abstinence-only and do not require students to stop using substances but are designed to meet students where they are and support their goals.

Students can schedule their appointment via Navigate or by going to go.iastate.edu/AlcoholCoaching.
