Well-Being Resources on Campus

Student Counseling Services

All students at UMass Chan are eligible to use the Student Counseling Services as a resource for their emotional and mental well-being. Services provided include consultation and evaluation, psychotherapy, medication management and assistance with stress. These services are confidential and covered by the prepaid Student Health Plan Fee, and thus pose no cost to the student (except for prescriptions and labs).

Office of Well-Being

All students at UMass Chan are free to utilize the resources offered by the Office of Well-Being (OWB). OWB aims to support the emotional, physical, occupational, intellectual, social, and spiritual well-being of all its participants. Through OWB, students are eligible to receive confidential, free, solution-focused counseling through the Employee Assistance Program. They are also free to use the wellness network resource which offers a myriad of mental-health related programming, such as meditation sessions, workouts, articles on mental health, and well-being webinars.

Office of Student Life

The Office of Student Life (OSL) provides support to all UMass Chan learners through resources and programs to enhance student wellness as they navigate their educational pursuits at UMass Chan. One such program directed by OSL is the Coaching Program for Academic Success and Student Well-Being, aimed at providing students with a framework, resources and coaching through various academic and personal life circumstances. Students work one-on-one with a coach and are afforded a safe space to reflect and discuss, and resources to support their mental well-being.

GSBS Office of Student Success and Engagement

To support their mental health and well-being, students are also encouraged to reach out to the Associate Dean for Student Success and Engagement in the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (GSBS), with any needs or concerns. GSBS is positioned to assist students through well-being concerns by guiding students through their specific circumstance or concern (academic, professional, or personal), and directly supporting students and/or directing them to appropriate resources through a collaboration with the mental health offices on campus.
