It is really helpful to get to know staff members in these different offices—besides referring students to the resources, you can turn to them for advice in handling different situations.

2.7 STUDENTS' MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH

Resources for Mental and Physical Wellness

University Counseling Services

University Counseling Services provides a variety of mental health services to students, including individual counseling, psychiatric consultation, groups and workshops, and 24/7 crisis services.

Faculty can also call UCS and consult with a counselor about any concerns they have about a student.
