Mental Health
It can be difficult to ask for help. At the UO we provide accessible resources for students from individual counseling sessions to specialized treatment. Student advocates also work to normalize asking for help and make sure that the flock has the resources it needs. Students will face stress and pressure during their college experience, but we provide support to them face those challenges.
Therapists at Counseling Services provide free, brief phone consultations to parents and families with concerns about a UO student. A consultation can help identify available resources, discuss options available to the student, suggest ways to approach a student needing support, and help identify next steps. To schedule a consultation, call 541-346-3227 during Counseling Services hours.
Student Health Care
Staying healthy is a vital part of the college experience. University Health Services (UHS) provides many different ways for students to maintain their health. From annual flu shots to physical therapy, we work to make sure students are healthy and ready to take advantage of every opportunity. There are also several options for insurance plans through UHS in order to make sure all students have access to the care.
Healthy Living
Even when it may seem like rain is the only type of weather we have here, there are a number of opportunities for students to stay active. The Student Recreation Center has an array of facilities, from a rock wall to an Olympic-sized swimming pool, to dance studios and physical education classes. The Duck Nest, located in the EMU helps you develop self-care and life-balance strategies related to stress, food security, physical health, and general wellness. We are also dedicated to creating a campus culture that is actively engaged in addressing issues of drug abuse and sexual violence in all their forms.
