Bozen Wellness Center

The Bozen Wellness Center at Green Mountain College is an award-winning, full-service, holistic center focusing on the physical, emotional, spiritual, and occupational well-being of our community. The wellness center encompasses health services, counseling services, career counseling services, work study, wellness initiatives, and spiritual services.

The mission of the Bozen Wellness Center is to provide professional and caring support to assist our students and the GMC community to grow in the areas of physical, emotional, spiritual, and career wellness, and to help them appreciate the ability they have to influence all of life.

The wellness center is located directly across from the tennis courts and is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday during the academic year. We also have evening and weekend meetings available by advance appointment.

Counseling Services
The wellness center staff offers confidential individual and group counseling to students who are experiencing difficulties that impact their personal and/or academic lives. Our experienced, caring mental health counselors are here to provide support, counseling, and assistance for students developing, defining, and accomplishing their goals. Assessment and referrals to other resources in the community are provided as needed.

The center also offers educational programming and information focused on the developmental needs of students, and provides 24-hour every day crisis intervention services as needed. Appointments are recommended, and may be arranged by calling the office at ext. 8376, or on a walk-in-basis, depending on the availability of the counselors.
