That’s why UNC Charlotte offers a comprehensive, holistic support program through ComPsych GuidanceResources®. This benefit provides confidential, no-cost access to a wide range of services designed to support the whole person — emotional well-being, financial and legal guidance, work-life resources and everyday life support. Available to permanent faculty and staff and their dependents, GuidanceResources® connects you to professional counselors, specialists, tools, and information to help you navigate life with confidence and balance.
