Student Mental Health Resources

Student health and wellness are important for academic success. While Touro SHS does not offer on-campus mental health services, the SHS Wellness Coordinator is available to help students at all SHS campuses find affordable community treatment for personal, emotional, or substance abuse problems so that they may benefit fully from their academic experience. Consultations are confidential. The Wellness Coordinator may be reached at WellnessSHS@touro.edu. When contacting the Wellness Coordinator, be sure to use your Touro e-mail address.

In the event of an on-campus mental health emergency, notify Campus Security:
