Mental health

If you're overwhelmed, anxious, sad, lonely, or having challenges adjusting to college, you are not alone. It's okay to ask for help. Campus Health Center (CHC) offers an integrated approach to mental health that focuses on improving your overall well-being. Studies show our mental health affects our physical health and vice versa. Our providers work with you to resolve physical and/or mental health issues affecting your daily life.

Services include

• Free, confidential Mental Health Triage (connects you to resources).
• Assessment and diagnoses of mental health and/or substance use disorders.
• Counseling (often limited time, issue-specific).
• Therapy (can be long-term, focus is on the individual).
• Management of psychiatric medication.
• Connection to on and off-campus resources.
• Case management.
• Free, Let's Talk, drop-in session with a counselor.

These are non-emergency mental health services.
