The Counseling Center offers multiple options for students seeking help coping with stress and mental health concerns. Students who are currently enrolled in degree-seeking programs at the Seattle campus are eligible for our counseling services.
For students who are physically out of state and/or for any student (including in-state) who is in crisis, UW has partnered with Telus to offer the free Husky Helpline. The Husky Helpline gives students access to real-time, confidential mental health and crisis intervention support, 24/7 and in multiple languages. There are several ways to connect:
- Phone: Call (206) 616-7777
- If calling from outside the US or Canada, dial 001.416.380.6578
- Online chat: Chat with a My SSP counselor on the My SSP website or on the My SSP app (Apple App Store | Google Play)
