Hello, CSE Majors.
As we hear more news about the devastation in Japan, and enter the general stress of finals week, we want to remind you about UW counseling resources available to students.
For general well-being:
Hall Health and the Counseling Center in Schmitz Hall both provide mental health counseling, plus a variety of resources from general stress management to urgent care. Counseling through the Counseling Center in Schmitz is free for students! This page has links to both offices, along with a couple other resources:

If you find yourself in a state of crisis, you have lots of options!
- Hall Health offers Urgent Care: students are eligible for one “crisis intervention” per quarter at no charge.
- The Counseling Center in Schmitz typically has someone on-call for urgent walk-in appointments, during normal office hours.
- If you need to speak with someone urgently, outside of normal office hours, call the non-profit Crisis Clinic at (206) 461-3222 or (866) 427-4747. (If a situation is life-threatening, use 911.)
- You can also call the Safe Campus hotline: (206) 685-SAFE.
If you notice a friend needs help, please share these resources with him or her. You can also report your concerns anonymously (or openly) to the Office of Student life: livewell@uw.edu, or call (206) 543-6085.
And remember that while CSE advisers are not mental health counselors, we are available to talk with you. If you have an issue and are not sure where to start, feel free to contact one of us. 🙂
