Mental and Physical Health Services at Washburn

     College is a time of change and figuring out who you are.  We are pushed and our time management skills are tested, right along with our level of patience.  I have cried over frustrating assignments many nights and continue to struggle with proper stress relief.  It's just a fact of life - college is hard because it is so much more than just classes and grades.

     What I'm trying to get at is that you are not alone, you are not weird and there is help!  Washburn University offers counseling as well as a health center.  Counseling Services is located in Morgan Hall, room 123.  The cost is included in your tuition so you may as well utilize the services.  Everything is confidential and appointments can be made by phone: 670-1450.  Students may seek guidance here for any reason.  I have visited them before to discuss my time management issues and homesickness.  I have included a link for the website below.

     The student health center is in Morgan Hall, room 170.  They offer immunizations, physicals, STD testing and even have a patient assistance program for prescriptions.  All services are once again free to students and there are several more services offered than I have mentioned.  The phone number for the student health center is: 670-1470  and a link is included below.

     I can't stress enough the importance of taking care of your mental and physical health.  We are in college and free is important as well.  Please take the time to help yourself by utilizing these services that our school offers.
