Counselor in Residence
The Counselor in Residence (CIR) program at UAB is a collaborative effort between Student Counseling Services (SCS) and Student Housing and Residence Life (SHRL) to increase access to mental health services by providing after-hours walk-in initial consultations with a clinical counselor. Intentionally placing a licensed clinical counselor within the residence hall is a proactive approach to decreasing barriers to mental health support and increasing the availability and ease of access to counseling services.
UABwell
The UABwell app was envisioned by students as a way to have services, information, and resources about mental health in one central location that’s easily and quickly accessible on mobile devices.

The UABwell app can be used to:
- Create a personalized self-care plan that builds good habits in sleep, movement, nutrition, routine and resiliency
- Create a private habit checklist and wellness journal to help you meet your goals and track your journey to better self-care and mental health
- Use self-help tools that put mental health services, mindfulness resources, and campus mental health and recreation events at your fingertips.
