The Center for Student Mental Health and Well-being – Fall 2026

Published
By

The Center for Student Mental Health and Well-being offers a wide variety of opportunities for students to engage in hands-on health & well-being education and support each semester. Individual counseling services are available to students, along with support and therapy groups, a Husky Hour Series, and special semester events this fall. We also offer options for online counselor support through Mantra Health, which works hand-in-hand with our Center to ensure care is connected and comprehensive. We encourage faculty, staff, & advisors to recommend these programs and services to the students that you meet with.

The Center for Student Mental Health and Well-being has a digital Fall 2026 Events & Programming Flyer that will hopefully make it even easier to share this information with students when you are meeting with them. A physical copy of this flyer along with our rackcard about the Center, Mantra/Walk-in Hours card, and a mental health resources bookmark were sent via interoffice mail to all the Undergraduate Advisors. We have very limited additional copies available that you can request by emailing counseling@@mtu.edu. 

Anyone interested in helping us promote mental health and well-being events and programming can join our list-serv/Google Group. We will send promotion details and resources for each individual event that you can share either formally (to use in a department newsletter for example) or informally (for advisors to have event information to share with students).

For additional information on what services the Center provides, please visit our website: https://www.mtu.edu/well-being/ If you have any questions or need further clarification, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

As students are considering spring and summer schedules, we’d like to share information about the faculty-led summer Track A program to Costa Rica. Students can earn 9-10 credits that meet Essential Ed or HASS/PE requirements. Please reach out to Richelle Winkler (rwinkler@mtu.edu) with questions or to discuss options. For students who need an internship instead of Essential Ed courses, there is potential for that with consent of instructor and our local partner the Monteverde Institute.

Costa Rica summer 2026 study away program is a chance to earn 9-10 credits in almost 6 weeks abroad in summer Track A 2026. Courses include: SS 3960 (Cultural Immersion- an Experience course), SS4390 (Seminar in Sustainability), and SS3260 (Latin American Cultural History- an Intercultural Competency course), plus Hiking and Yoga options. All levels of Spanish speakers are welcome. Students live in homestays with local families in the Monteverde region (on top of a mountain in the cloud forest), and have opportunities to engage with students at the University of Costa Rica in San Jose. The program is based on experiential learning – with dozens of field trips, dozens of local speakers, and hands-on activities like reforestation activities, processing coffee and sugar cane, and collecting water quality data. There are significant focuses on conservation, tropical ecology, and renewable energy. This program is in partnership with the Monteverde Institute and supports local community initiatives in the Monteverde region.
