Hamline Counseling and Health Services
Counseling
Counseling is available for both individuals and couples. (Group counseling is also available when there are sufficient numbers of students interested in a particular topic.) The counseling staff can help students with a variety of different issues. Examples include: depression, anxiety, relationship problems, stress management, identity development, self-esteem, body image, grief/loss and family concerns.
If a student requires more specialized or intensive support, the counseling staff can help identify skilled mental health providers in the surrounding area. Counseling is a free service provided to Hamline students.
Health Services
Health Services provides health evaluations, assessments, recommendations and referrals. Nurses are available for the treatment and prevention of many health concerns including: cold and flu, eye infection, menstrual cramps, headaches, muscle tension, sprains and strains.
Tests are available at Health Services for strep throat, pregnancy, hematocrit, urinalysis, blood pressure, vision screening and TB skin tests. Students can receive immunizations (Tetanus, Hepatitis A and B, Meningitis and HPV) as well as borrow equipment (crutches, heating pads, humidifiers and wheelchairs). Emergency Contraception is available through a nursing appointment. Referrals are made as needed.
