Mental Health

• Telemental health appointments are being conducted remotely – over phone or video. If you would like to reserve a private campus space for your telemental health appointment, there are options in residence halls and libraries. First, book your MHS appointment and then reserve a space.
  • Residence Halls: click  “Resources” 
  • College, Memorial, and Steenbock Libraries
  • Business School Library 
• We are taking on new clients.  Every new client starts with a phone screening to collaboratively determine a student’s needs and connect the student to the best resources. To schedule an Access Appointment phone screening, students can call 608-265-5600 (option 2) or log on to MyUHS to web-book an appointment.
• The crisis line (608-265-5600, option 9) and SilverCloud remain available 24/7.
• A full list of group therapy options can be found here.
• Virtual Drop-in Self-Care Programing is a series of recurring online spaces for current students to connect with each other to cope with isolation, grief/loss, uncertainty about the future, discrimination, and many other things. These spaces are 90min drop-in meetings via Zoom and require a zoom link to join.
• All online resources are available on our Remote Health & Connection page.
• More information about COVID-19 and campus operations can be found here: covid19.wisc.edu/

Our services are confidential, and any enrolled UW-Madison student is eligible. There is no charge to students for mental health care at UHS because our services are paid for through tuition and fees. Students who complete spring semester but are not enrolled in summer courses are able to pay a Summer Health Fee to maintain access to services at UHS during the summer semester.

Read our informed participation agreement as well as informed consent for telemental health.
