Mental health is an essential part of student success and knowing where to find support can make all the difference.

In this episode of Inside the Webb: Student Life Unpacked, hosts Lesley Villarose, Vice President for Student Development and Dean of Students, and Brian Arnold, Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Student Engagement, welcome Kim Retherford, Director of Counseling Services at Gardner-Webb University.

Kim discusses the wide range of resources available through the Counseling Center, including individual counseling, single-session appointments, support groups, substance-use counseling resources, book clubs, wellness initiatives, and crisis support services. She also addresses common misconceptions about counseling, explains why mental health is closely connected to overall well-being, and shares how students can access help whenever they need it.

Whether you're a prospective student, current student, or parent exploring campus resources, this conversation offers an inside look at how Gardner-Webb supports students through every stage of their college journey.
