Health and Wellness Resources

NEW REMOTE MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES

UW has just finalized a partnership with My SSP to provide students access to real-time, confidential mental health and crisis intervention support, available 24/7 and in multiple languages.

 

This is a key component of UW’s efforts to meet rising demand for mental health support from a geographically-dispersed student body in light of the pandemic.

 

There are several ways students can connect to My SSP:

·         Phone: Call 1.866.743.7732

o   (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 Links to an external site. or on the My SSP app (Apple App Store Links to an external site. | Google Play Links to an external site.).

 

The mental health landing page on the Husky Health and Well-Being website has been updated to incorporate this new resource, as well as to provide a more streamlined experience for students trying to understand and connect with the mental health support resources available to them.

No Health Insurance?

If you’re a typical college student without much income, there are subsidies available to lower the cost of private insurance.  If you are low-income, you might be eligible for public insurance, also known as Medicaid, for which you would not need to pay. As you apply for the insurance through an online exchange, you will be prompted to enter income and demographic information. The system will determine your eligibility for Medicaid and subsidies based on this information.  Learn more about your options here: http://depts.washington.edu/hhpccweb/health-resource/essential-information-for-students-about-the-affordable-care-act Links to an external site.
