Mental Health Services
The Office of Student Concerns is committed to helping students manage their mental, physical, and emotional well-being as they experience the academic rigors of college-level learning. A team of caring people provides various mental health resources for all students in a confidential, responsive, and respectful environment. In addition, the Office provides resources during emergencies and crises and implements interventions if students display inappropriate behaviors.
Law students may contact staff in law academic affairs or professional development to connect with resources, mental health consultants, and the Delaware Lawyer Assistance Program for their individual needs.
Mental Health Screening
Mental health is a vital part of an individual's overall health. Brief screenings are the quickest way to determine if you or someone you care about should connect with a mental health professional. This program is completely anonymous and confidential, and immediately after submitting the brief questionnaire, you will see your results, recommendations, and critical resources. This screening also includes an alcohol use and substance use component, as these can play a significant role in mental health.
