HEALTH AND WELLNESS
College may be stressful, especially around
the beginning of a new semester, midterms
and final exams, and it’s important your
student is physically and emotionally
prepared. Encourage your student to
create healthy habits, such as engaging in
regular physical exercise, eating a balanced
diet, getting enough sleep, establishing a
routine, prioritizing tasks and trying not to
overcommit themselves. There are many
resources on campus that can help your
student make healthy choices. Students
can stay active by engaging in Campus
Recreation’s many fitness and wellness
classes and trainings, intramural sports
and club sports. The dining halls on campus
provide many healthy food options for
students. They serve a variety of fresh fruits
and vegetables, whole grains and protein, and
they include nutritional information for all of
their meals.
Office of Advocacy and Success
The Office of Advocacy and Success at Clemson serves as a trusted place for care, advocacy
and referrals to campus and community partners, which inspires student engagement,
success and a sense of belonging. The staff works closely with other areas on campus to
foster a sense of acceptance and inclusion for all students while providing care, support
and advocacy for the entire Clemson community. For issues of concern related to academic
behavior, emotional health, finances, personal wellness, adjustment or other concerns, you
may seek support for your student by completing an online CARE report at or
by calling 864-656-0935. A staff member will follow up with the student to offer resources
and support. If it is an emergency, call 911.
Student Health Services (SHS)
One of the factors that contributes most to college success is staying healthy. Student Health
Services (SHS) is an integrated, outpatient organization comprised of three divisions: Medical
Services, Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), and Healthy Campus. Medical
Services and CAPS are located in Redfern Health Center, and Healthy Campus is located in
Fike Recreation Center. SHS staff specialize in treating college students and helping students
manage their health, so they can succeed in the classroom and enjoy their college experience.
SHS offers consultation with medical and mental health professionals about chronic or acute
conditions; preventive care; nutrition; sports-related injuries; and managing medications,
stress and anxiety for all students.
Medical Services
SHS provides outpatient ambulatory care for illness and injury, pharmacy, lab, X-ray and
specialty services including women’s health, sports medicine, and allergy and immunization
clinics on campus at Redfern Health Center. SHS is accredited by The Joint Commission, a
nationally recognized accreditation and certification organization. SHS is staffed with board-
certified physicians and nurse practitioners as well as many other committed health care
personnel. To schedule an appointment with a SHS physician or nurse practitioner, students
can make an appointment online through MyHealth-e or call the
appointment line at 864-656-1541. Visit the Student Health Services website
to learn more about scheduling an appointment.
Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS)
College life is often a time of transition and challenge. Students face these developmental
changes by tapping into their internal resources, family, friends and mentors. In some
cases, help is needed from trained professionals. CAPS provides a safe and confidential
environment for students to address their concerns. Mental well-being, just like physical
health, is necessary for students to meet their academic and life goals. Students most often
seek care for anxiety, stress, depression, loneliness, relationship difficulties, eating concerns
and questions about identity. The staff at CAPS is committed to facilitating students’
personal growth and well-being while celebrating individual differences.
CAPS operates on a short-termmodel as an outpatient center; students in need of intensive
services will be referred to an outside provider. CAPS offers two ways to initiate services:
• Phone screening: Students can contact CAPS, 864-656-2451, to schedule an intake phone
screening appointment with a clinician. During this call, a clinician will gather brief
information and schedule the student for an individual assessment.
• Walk-in clinic: Students are seen on first-come, first-served basis, Monday-Friday 10 a.m.-
2:30 p.m. Students complete basic forms and are scheduled for an individual assessment.
The assessment allows for understanding of the student’s strengths, presenting needs and
expectations for treatment. CAPS utilizes a stepped-care model that orders care options along
a continuum and the student enters care at the lowest level of intensity needed. The student
may then step up or down to address their needs.
Counseling
Care options, along the stepped care continuum, may include assisting the student to
adjust to the University community, accessing self-help resources, participating in skills-
building workshops, online treatments or individual counseling. Group therapy is often
the optimal form of intervention given that many of the issues students encounter occur in
social settings. It follows that working out these issues in a therapeutic social environment
facilitates growth. CAPS offers both general and specific-theme groups as well as groups that
focus on learning effective skills for living. Family and couples counseling are also provided.
Therapy Assistance Online (TAO) Therapy Anytime, Anywhere!
Therapy Assistance Online (TAO) is an online suite of tools meant to teach life skills, build
resilience and encourage positive growth. TAO’s educational modules are comprised of brief
videos, interactive games and mindfulness exercises meant to help students recognize and
PARENT TESTIMONIAL
“The key to your student being happy at
Clemson is getting involved. Whether
from in-state or out-of-state, students
are all looking to make new friends.
Encourage your student to join peers
on the same floor or suitemates as
often as possible and to attend the
many events going on around campus
every day. My daughter initially leaned
on people she knew from home but
eventually spread her wings and now
has friends from all over the country.
There are hundreds of organizations
on campus and many have sign-up
opportunities at an event called Tiger
Prowl the first week of school.
The first week is filled with welcome
week events to keep the students
busy and interacting.”

PARENT TESTIMONIAL
“The summer before my son’s junior
year, he was dealt a tremendous blow.
He lost his dad unexpectedly. His life
was shattered, but he had to start
school in less than a month. Clemson’s
Counseling and Psychological Services
(CAPS) reached out to him, but he felt
he was okay, and he did not have any
extra time to see them. However, during
the following Spring semester, he was
having issues related to the accident,
and he sought help from CAPS. Because
of their help, he stayed on track.”
