UW-Stevens Point is committed to keeping students safe and healthy. That is why the Counseling Center offers free, professional and confidential services to all Pointers.
There are a variety of services offered at the UWSP Counseling Center, such as individual and group therapy sessions, which can be in person or on Zoom. The counselors here at UWSP are here to help guide you through any struggles you may be facing and help you get closer to your goals. The Counseling Center is open Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Another great tool for students is the mental health app Mantra, where you have access to courses on self-care, wellness coaching and screening tools. If you are looking for a virtual therapy option, that includes appointments during evenings and weekends and a diverse variety of providers, Mantra is a good fit for you.
In the case of an immediate emergency, Pointers can utilize CONNECTNOW at (888)531-2142, where trained professionals are available 24/7 to de-escalate situations. Between the hours of 11 a.m. and 11 p.m., someone will answer the phone within one minute or appear via video on the Mantra app within ten minutes.
In a serious or life-threatening situation, always call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
