It’s always a good time to continue to check in with your student and encourage them to maintain their study, sleep and eating routines. Below is a list of resources available on campus to promote student health and wellness:

Counseling & Psychological Services: MSU Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS) provides a wide range of services and resources to support students during thier time at MSU. CAPS also offers suggestions for talking with your student about their mental health and wellbeing. 

YOU at MSU: An online tool to help students increase their well-being. YOU at MSU provides tips and tools for everything from mental and physical health to friendships and finding balance.

VITA: Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) provides free tax help to people with household incomes under $54,000, including students. Volunteers assist with basic federal and state income tax returns with free electronic filing available for most 1040 forms. The program runs in the spring and appointments are required.

Student Wellness: The Student Wellness main office inside the Student Wellness Center provides safe-sex resources for the campus community as well as guidance for students on the many wellness resources and services avialable throughout the Student Wellness Center.

Student Health Services: Following an integrated model, Student Health Services offers a suite of low- and no-cost services for MSU students enrolled in 7+ credits including medical services, pharmacy, dental services, and nutrition consultations. An on-site laboratory and x-ray services round out a one-stop shop for care.

CARE Referrals: MSU's CARE (Campus Assessment Response Evaluation) Program provides a direct way to express concern for your student's well-being. Informing us of your concern may be a critical factor in assisting someone who is struggling. There are many reasons why someone might need help, including, but not limited to: mental health-related concerns, threats of self-harm, suicide or violence to others.
