College is full of excitement, opportunities and challenges. HFS and the UW have a number of services that support students’ emotional and mental health, so you can make the most of your time here.
Residential Life resources
If you would like help exploring options, a good place to start is with your RA or CA. RAs and CAs are well-versed on campus resources and can help you access them.
UW health and wellness services
