Health and Wellness Support

Support Services

There are many resources to support students dealing with mental health, sexual discrimination, and other safety and wellness issues at Dartmouth. Some of these are on campus, and others off campus. Some are private, others confidential. It is important that you know the difference between a private and a confidential resource. The Title IX Office has compiled a useful one-page document outlining which resources are which. Below, you will find direct links to many of those listed, as well as a link to a resource guide produced by the Graduate Student Council Reps.

If you aren't sure where to start, start with us. The Guarini Deans are available to help.

If you are in crisis after hours, you can call Safety and Security (603-646-4000)  to speak with the on-call Dicks House Counselor.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONFIDENTIAL AND PRIVATE RESOURCES

Confidential resources may not share your information without your express consent unless there is imminent danger to self or others, or as otherwise required by law.
Private resources are required to promptly share a disclosure of sexual assualt, sexual aor gender-based harassment, dating or domestic violence, or stalking. This information will only be communicated with other individuals on a need-to-know basis or as required by law.

This is an anonymous and confidential resource.
