Students

All currently enrolled full-time students, as well as currently enrolled part-time students who have paid the Comprehensive Health Fee, are eligible for assistance at Tufts University Counseling and Mental Health Services. Specifically, these students are eligible for an Intake appointment in which their concerns will be discussed, along with other relevant information. Recommendations for follow-up, treatment, and/or referral will be made as indicated.

Fees

Counseling sessions are provided to eligible students free of charge. If students are referred for psychiatric medication, the first three visits with the prescribing clinician are free of charge. Subsequent visits can be charged to insurance, or paid for out of pocket.

A Note to Staff and Faculty

Staff and Faculty are not eligible for services at the CMHS. If you are looking for Mental Health Services, you have the following options:

• Contact Health Resources, the Tufts University Employee Assistance Program (EAP). This is a confidential, short term counseling and referral service provided to employees without charge by Tufts University. It is staffed by licensed, professional counselors, who can assist employees and their family members with any type of personal problem. Offices are located throughout the U.S., and you can choose to be seen at the location most convenient for you. The national, toll-free number is 1-800-451-1834 (TTY users please use Relay). In case of emergency, you can reach someone there 24 hours a day.
   
• Call your Primary Care Physician or your health insurance provider for a referral to a Mental Health practitioner
