Mental Health & Wellness
Your Well-Being is Important
Your mental health and well-being is a priority. We offer a Wisconsin School of Business counselor, who specializes in working with business students, and additional resources support your physical, mental and emotional health.
Mental Health Crisis Support
University Health Services offers 24/7 crisis services. Call 608-265-5600 and select option 9.
You can also reach out to the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988 or chat at 988Lifeline.org.
WSB Mental Health Resources
Make a Counseling Appointment
The University of Wisconsin–Madison and WSB mental health counseling services are free.
To schedule an appointment with WSB’s mental health provider, Dr. Julie Phillips:
- call 608-265-5600 and select option 2
- explain you are an undergraduate business student and ask to schedule an appointment
- you will receive confirmation of the scheduled appointment
All appointments include a safe and confidential environment to help you overcome any hurdles interfering with your well-being and academics. As an undergraduate business student, you bypass the initial access appointment and can directly schedule services with WSB’s embedded counselor.
