Behavioral Health and Wellness

Welcome to A.T. Still University's (ATSU) behavioral health and wellness resources, where students learn the value of balancing rigorous academics with the other areas of their lives and are provided with resources that help them reach their full potential. Behavioral health and wellness offers individual counseling, as well as referral and consultation services for residential students. Online students may refer to a list of national resources and referral information for mental health/substance use counseling as well as intimate partner violence.

ATSU Care Team

The Care (Campus Assessment Response and Education) Team is committed to assisting ATSU students in navigating their journey at ATSU. Our goal is to join students in tackling challenges so they do not feel alone in the process.

The Care Team provides one-on-one support, advocacy, referrals, and follow-up services when ATSU students are experiencing significant difficulties related to mental health, physical health, personal and family emergencies, financial issues, or other areas of concern.

Team goals:

• Support a healthy environment for university community members.
• Identify, assess, and intervene with students who are struggling or who demonstrate concerning or threatening behavior.
• Provide support and resources to ATSU faculty, staff, and students who are concerned about an ATSU student.

Still-Well Student Wellness Program

ATSU provides students with a caring, nurturing environment in which to learn, live, and thrive. The Still-Well Student Wellness Program is designed to encourage students' health and wellness throughout their educational experience, enabling them to reach their maximum potential in body, mind, and spirit.

The founder of osteopathic medicine and our university, A.T. Still, DO, believed that an active body helped nurture an inquisitive and informed mind. Named after Dr. Still, Still-Well was founded in 1991 and is one of the most extensive and successful wellness programs among U.S. graduate schools. True to Dr. Still's philosophy, this holistic approach to health care is distinctive of ATSU.

An important concept of the Still-Well philosophy is to practice and promote a healthy lifestyle. Students first must understand and integrate wellness practices into their own lives. Wellness at ATSU is defined as a balance of intellectual, physical, spiritual, emotional, social, and environmental development.

On-campus fitness facilities

ATSU is proud to offer students several on-campus options for developing their physical wellness. Whether studying at our Kirksville, MO, our Mesa, AZ, or our Santa Maria, CA campus, the ATSU community can anticipate dedicated access to fitness facilities to stay active and get social.
