Students who require mental health support are encouraged to register to book an appointment with our provider, Uwill, a leading mental health and wellness solution that allows students the ability to connect immediately with available licensed mental counselors based on their unique needs and preferences. 

Maria College supports the overall wellness of our students by providing access to free and confidential mental health counseling, education, and consultation. Individuals using this service will be assisted with compassion, dignity, and respected in a culturally sensitive, non-judgmental manner.

 If a student is experiencing a mental health crisis after hours, the student should contact 911/988, go to the nearest emergency room, or review the Maria College Counseling Services list of emergency hotlines. Please be aware 988 is the new, three-digit number, for mental health crises and emotional distress: https://omh.ny.gov/omhweb/crisis/988.html.
