Mental Health Services

We have personal mental health services and community resources to help you in your life outside the classroom.

College can be a very stressful time, especially if you are working, are in a relationship or are involved in other activities. Sometimes it can feel like it is all too much to handle. To help you deal with your life outside the classroom, Wor-Wic offers in-person counseling (schedule here), online teletherapy and referral services free of charge.

BetterMynd Online Therapy

We have partnered with BetterMynd to offer our students free access to private online therapy sessions. The 50 minute, live video sessions are private and confidential. Sessions can take place from your laptop, smartphone or tablet. Sessions are available during the day, at night and on the weekends. BetterMynd also provides free self-help resources and free group workshops to all Wor-Wic students. Register and get started with a counselor that’s a good fit for you or email mentalhealth@worwic.edu to receive access. Need to talk to your doctor on a video call but don’t want anyone to hear you? You can use a special quiet booth called a soundproof privacy pod. It’s a quiet room just for you. You can book one for your next appointment by clicking the links below.
