New set of mental health and wellness resources is available for UWL students
As we enter the last few weeks of the semester, Wellness & Health Advocacy and the Counseling and Testing Center are thrilled to have introduced a new set of mental health and wellness resources for UWL students: YOU@UWL and Mantra Health.
All students have received the announcement below regarding YOU@UWL, a personalized well-being platform that directs students toward campus-based and online resources to promote academic and career success, purpose and connection, and physical and mental well-being. YOU@UWL serves as a digital “front-door” for wellness, connecting students to the right resources at the right time.
In addition to YOU@UWL, students now have access to mental health crisis, support, and treatment resources that expand on the mental health services provided at UWL's Counseling & Testing Center. These resources are in place through the Spring 2025 semester.
Mantra Health – Telecounseling and telepsychiatry services that will serve as a supplement to, and coordinate with, campus-based counseling and psychiatry services.
UW Mental Health Support 24/7 – phone, text, and chat services with trained counselors, available 24/7. This service can be used for general support as well as crisis.
We invite you to check out YOU@UWL, where you can sign-up as faculty/staff and explore the available resources. If you are interested in learning more about these services, our partners at Mantra Health have recorded a webinar, available here: Mantra Health Program Awareness (Passcode: w3^1Kn@?)
