The Counseling Center provides a safe, inclusive environment to help you explore the challenges of life and learning through:
- Counseling: individual, group, career, and crisis
- Drop-in support with a mental health counselor through Let’s Talk
These services are provided at no charge to currently-enrolled, degree-seeking UW students thanks to support from the Services and Activities Fee.
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 Health Student Support 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 counselor on the Telus webpage or on the app (Apple App Store | Google Play)
