Hillel Students Make Your Appointment Here

JFS Orlando is partnering with Central Florida Hillel to bring counseling and programming to the UCF community. Our counselor, Shaina White Williams, will be on campus at the Wellness Center for open hours, where students can drop in and chat to find out more about services, and to see if counseling is right for them. If counseling is the next step, students can schedule an appointment, in-person at Central Florida Hillel or through telehealth.
