Counseling and Mental Health Service

HUHS Counseling and Mental Health Service provides confidential support to students all year round.

USEFUL LINKS

Counseling and Mental Health Service (CAMHS) is a counseling and mental health support service that seeks to work collaboratively with students and the University to support individuals who are experiencing any measure of distress in their lives. This may include bereavement, adjustment difficulties, depression, anxiety, stress, concerns interfering with work or relationships, sexual concerns, or high-risk behaviors around food, alcohol, or other substances.

Treatment options include individual counseling, medication management, group therapy, peer counseling, and workshops. All visits are confidential. Mental health records are held separately from the rest of the medical records except for information on medications. Counseling and mental health services are also offered at satellite health clinics on the Harvard Law School and Longwood Medical Area campuses.

CAMHS Cares Line

The CAMHS Cares line (617-495-2042) is a 24/7 support line for Harvard students who have mental health concerns, whether they are in immediate distress or not, on-campus or elsewhere.

  • During CAMHS business hours, call 617-495-2042 and press 1 (one) to speak directly with a CAMHS administrative assistant to make, change, or cancel a routine appointment, request a refill, or request an in-person urgent care appointment for that day.
  • At all times, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, students can follow the prompts to speak directly with a CAMHS Cares counselor about an urgent concern or if they just need to talk to someone about a difficult challenge or mental health issue.
