Services & Recovery
Beginning August 10, 2026, all appointments with our Registered Dietitian, Chelsea Stant, will take place at The Abrons Student Health Center on the 2nd floor of DePaolo Hall.
While our location is changing, our commitment to supporting your health and wellness remains the same. You will continue to receive the same personalized nutrition counseling and services.
Any appointments scheduled on or after August 10, 2026 will take place in the Student Health Center. Appointments will be scheduled on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. If these days do not accommodate your schedule, we will work with you to schedule a Monday or Wednesday appointment.
Chelsea will be available to support you on Mondays and Fridays in the Office of Student Wellbeing in the Leonard Recreation Center.
Appointment scheduling procedures will remain the same. You can call the Office of Student Wellbeing (910-962-4135) or the Student Health Center (910-962-3280) to schedule an appointment.
We understand that location changes can raise questions. If you need help finding the Abrons Student Health Center, would like to confirm the location of an upcoming appointment, or have other questions or concerns, please contact us.

Collegiate Recovery Community
Governor Pat McCrory declared Thursday, September 5, 2013 as Collegiate Recovery Community Day in the state of North Carolina stating, “the CRC is a federally funded program providing many supports to our UNCW community. Members of UNCW's CRC participated in the signing, along with groups from UNC Charlotte, UNC Chapel Hill, and Duke University”. Please be on the lookout for all programming efforts, especially during National Recovery Month in September.
- A supportive community within the campus culture that reinforces the decision to disengage from addictive behaviors
- Educational opportunities alongside recovery support to ensure that students do not have to sacrifice one for the other
- Accountability for students in recovery that comes from self, peers, and higher education staff
- A normative college experience for students in recovery apart from the culture of drinking/use that is present on today's campuses
- A comprehensive network, support services, and cohesive, vibrant community to students in recovery, in hopes of recovery, and those who support recovery.
- Provide a supportive, peer group for students in recovery
- Connect students with resources on and off campus
- Provide opportunities for personal growth and development
- Support the unique challenges and struggles that students in recovery experience
