Student Health and Counseling Services
Student Health and Counseling Services addresses the health and wellness needs of University of Chicago students. In addition to group and individual counseling, SHCS offers Let's Talk, a free, confidential counseling service that does not require an appointment.
The Peer Health Liaison program seeks to bridge a gap between BSD students and Student Health and Counseling Services. Liaisons are current BSD students who undergo a training session with SHCH senior leadership to become well-versed in the services and resources available to students. They communicate with their students via a monthly email digest with up-to-date information on SHCH services. They additionally meet monthly with leadership to discuss items brought to their attention by their peers. Visit the page for contact information.
