Mental Health Statement - HSC Campus

College students commonly experience difficulties that may interfere with academic success. Stress, sleep problems, relationship and social concerns, adjustment to college, financial problems, family issues, discrimination, or anxiety and depression all affect one’s ability to remember, learn and perform. If you or a friend is struggling, we strongly encourage you to seek support. Supportive, confidential resources are available on campus, and most are at no-charge. The BeWell office is the counseling hub for all Health Sciences students. BeWell offers short-term individual counseling, consultations and various other mental health services.
