Here to Support Your Wellbeing, On-Campus & Off

The Health and Wellness Center is a safe, confidential place where students can receive limited primary care services and support through various offices.

The Health Office oversees evaluation and treatment for common minor injuries and illnesses, preventive health care, health education, and referrals to local specialists or hospitals as needed. The office is staffed by Family Nurse Practitioners.

The Counseling Center oversees evaluations and counseling for various mental health needs, workshops, and referrals to local specialists or hospitals as needed. The center is staffed by Licensed Clinical Social Workers, and Mental Health Counselors.

The Mav Market is a judgment-free, inclusive, confidential resource that helps students focus on learning—not hunger.

The Red Folder initiative

Students may experience different levels of distress across various areas of their lives. The type and amount of distress they are experiencing will require different actions and resources. The Red Folder initiative is a guide to help those who interact with students to recognize and be able to respond effectively and refer students in distress to the available resources we have at Mercy University.
