Mental Health Resources
Counseling Services is happy to help the Mount Community access information about mental health and connect with off-campus resources. The information on this webpage is provided to aid you in better supporting yourself and others in coping with the challenges that may arise during college. Here is a list of national resources as well as resources local to the Hudson Valley broken down by topic/population, but we recognize that this list is not exhaustive. If you are a member of the MSMC community and can't find what you're looking for, please reach out to Counseling Services via phone, email, or visiting the office located in Guzman Hall on the Lower Level.
