If you feel coerced into attending counseling, express your discomfort to your counselor and we can talk about it\u2014please do not hold in your reluctance!<\/p><p><strong>Counseling will not fix you.\u00a0 <\/strong><em><strong>YOU<\/strong><\/em><em> will fix you.<\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em>Our job is to help you help yourself.\u00a0The goal of counseling is to empower you with ways to deal with life issues, learn about triggers, unhelpful patterns, and build resiliency, so you can thrive rather than survive\u2014and become your best you.<\/p><p><strong>It\u2019s not always rainbows and sunshine.\u00a0 <\/strong>It\u2019s likely you will feel much better after meeting with a counselor, but the journey requires you to be brave and fearless. Depending on what brought you in to counseling, it may be important to recall memories and experiences or change a behavioral style which can be trying, upsetting, even overwhelming. Being in counseling helps you feel better, but it\u2019s beneficial to know that the journey can sometimes be bumpy. If you stick with and embrace the process, it\u2019s likely you will be amazed with the end results!<\/p><p><strong>Unrealistic expectations are unrealistic!\u00a0 <\/strong>Change does not happen overnight. Nor does the development of insight or replacing old behaviors with new ones. It takes time and collaboration with your counselor to develop and work towards practical and realistic goals that are specific to your needs. As time progresses, you can review these targeted goals and redefine them if necessary.<\/p><p><strong>It is (and is not) like talking to a friend.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Like a friend or family member, a counselor is a friendly, caring, interested person to talk to when you are experiencing life\u2019s difficulties.<em> <strong>Unlike<\/strong><\/em> a friend or family member, your counselor has been extensively trained to listen not only with the intent to understand and provide empathic support, but also with the goal to identify, explore, and clarify the experiences that negatively affect your wellbeing. Active listening and follow up questions assist your counselor in applying appropriate theory and techniques specific to your needs and goals.

Please verify with your health plan provider what is covered while your student is away at school. Benefits may be limited!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is this plan ACA Compliant?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, this plan is compliant with the Affordable Care Act. We do not deny coverage for pre-existing conditions and there are no monetary limits in coverage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if I find a cheaper plan through the healthcare.gov exchange?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you find a plan that comes to less than $100 per month for the student, then, yes, it might be a good idea to use the exchange. However, we feel our plan is a quality one for a very reasonable cost in today\u2019s health care market.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I keep the student on a parent\u2019s plan?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, you can. Most plans, thanks to the Affordable Care Act, allows parents to keep children on their plans until they reach the age of 26. However, if placing a child on the student insurance plan allows the parent to move from a family plan to a single or a single plus 1 plan, the savings might be more than the per-year rate that you would pay.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why do athletes pay more?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Athletes are at a greater risk for injury. We have supplemental insurance for athletes when out of pocket expenses exist. Athletes are 100% covered for all injuries that occur in games or at practices. No money comes out of pocket for any athlete that is injured under these conditions. Because of this, even athletes who waive the student health insurance still pay a $400 administrative fee to help defer the cost of the intercollegiate sports coverage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there any other additional coverage you provide?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, all full-time undergraduate students are covered for any injury that may occur while on campus grounds or at a university event. It is a blanket accidental coverage plan that the university provides each student. Non-athletic injuries are covered up to $15,000, and athletic injuries are covered up to $5,000 before the intercollegiate sports coverage covers the difference. Athletes who are injured and on a parent\u2019s plan have the parent\u2019s plan as the primary insurance with the accidental coverage paying the difference.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does the student apply?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Coverage is automatically billed to full time undergraduate students and is included on the tuition billing statement unless you submit insurance waiver information online at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20240413211848\/https:\/myusf.stfrancis.edu\/portal\/secure\/go\/STUDENT_HEALTH_INSURANCE_WAIVER1\">myusf.stfrancis.edu\/portal\/secure\/go\/STUDENT_HEALTH_INSURANCE_WAIVER1<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>How does the student get his ID card?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The student can access their printable ID card by going to the following website:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20240413211848\/http:\/www.wellfleetstudent.com\/\">wellfleetstudent.com.<\/a> Follow the prompts after entering the University of St. Francis as the school name<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-75e1174 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"75e1174\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3cafce0\" data-id=\"3cafce0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5cb6ee2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"5cb6ee2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"center-sp-2\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1192773 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"1192773\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"#center-sp-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">IN ENGLISH<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c9ce71e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c9ce71e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5dc4c14\" data-id=\"5dc4c14\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2a5de36 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2a5de36\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Centro de Orientaci\u00f3n y Bienestar<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2dd94eb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2dd94eb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Nos importa lo que aprende;
