Issue 10: Because Not All Days Feel Amazing

We know that everything’s a little harder when we’re not feeling our best. That’s why we want you to know that Oberlin’s Office of Student Health and Well-Being is ready to help you through whatever challenges may arise.

Centrally located in Dascomb Hall at the south end of Wilder Bowl, Student Health offers a staff of trained professionals dedicated to supporting all facets of your health and wellness.

Health Care: We provide timely treatment for illnesses and injuries and offer preventative care, diagnostic tests, immunizations, reproductive health, and more. All students are welcome, regardless of health insurance, and there is no copay for services.

Counseling: Settling into a new community can elicit a range of emotions, and Student Health’s Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) is ready to support you from day one. Our counseling center provides free psychological support, primarily for assessment and short-term counseling. Our team offers individual and small-group sessions, crisis support, medication consultation, referrals, and outreach programs. To ensure 24/7 access to support services, we also partner with Uwill, a confidential teletherapy service that is free for all students.

TO DO THIS WEEK: All students are required to submit medical history and physical exam forms and complete all required vaccinations. The forms are linked on the To-Do Website. These steps must be completed no later than July 15.
