Mental Health Resources for Graduate Students

NEED HELP NOW?

Counseling and Health Center Resources:

One common confusion is when to go to the University Health Center's Behavorial Health Services and when to go to the UMD Counseling Center. We urge you to explore both about pages we have linked as the services do differ quite a bit and knowing where you want to go before hand can save you time and energy.

In addition, graduate students also have the Academic Counselor and Ombuds in the Graduate School and those who have assistantships are able to utilize the Faculty and Staff Assistance Program.
