Mental Health / Counseling Services
A student’s health and well being is a primary concern for all student affairs offices, as well as other offices which regularly interact with students.
If a student has been seeing a professional for counseling, or psychiatric care, it is important to find another provider right away so the student can continue to receive care. This can be done several ways:
- Students can ask their current provider for names of local providers – the student should then follow up and find out if the provider accepts the students’ selected medical insurance coverage.
- Students may make an appointment with Lynne Fenton, MD, who is employed at the Anschutz Medical Campus in the Student Mental Health Center – she can assist in finding providers for students regardless of their selected insurance coverage (Anschutz Medical Campus Student Health Insurance or other coverage) (303) 724-4719
- Students may visit the Student Health Insurance office (3208 of Ed II North) for assistance in finding providers who accept the Anschutz Medical Campus Student Health Insurance plan.
Students who have selected other carriers will be assisted by referencing their carrier websites which often have ‘find a physician’ search engines
Take Care of Those Relationships Sooner than Later!
Our students often arrive at the Anschutz Medical Campus with a significant other in their lives. It is often a BIG surprise to all parties just how busy students are while enrolled in their respective programs. Consider the student responsibilities at this campus as a full time job, with required overtime (nearly every day). Relationships are complicated, and need nurturing – we hope to help with counseling referral, activities which include families, and other resources to help not only with the transition to this campus, but throughout your student’s enrollment here.
Please stop by, or call the Student Assistance Office for additional resources.
