Services Include
- Medication Management: This aspect involves ongoing monitoring of the effectiveness of prescribed medications, potential side effects, and adjustments to dosage or medication type as needed. It's essential for students receiving psychiatric medication to have regular check-ins with a qualified healthcare provider to ensure their treatment plan remains appropriate and effective.
- Psychiatric Services: For students who may require medication management for mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, or ADHD, the university's health services offers psychiatric evaluations and follow-up appointments. Psychiatrists or psychiatric nurse practitioners can assess symptoms, prescribe medication if necessary, and monitor progress over time.
- Referrals and Collaboration: In some cases, students may require specialized or long-term mental health care beyond what the university's health services can provide. In such instances, the staff may assist students in finding appropriate off-campus resources or collaborate with external mental health professionals to ensure continuity of care.
- Education and Prevention: Alongside direct services, the Student Health Service often offers educational programming and outreach efforts aimed at raising awareness about mental health issues, reducing stigma, and promoting overall wellness among the student body.
It's important for students to be aware of the mental health resources available to them on campus and to reach out for support if they are struggling. The University of Wyoming prioritizes the mental health and well-being of their students and provides a range of services to address their needs. For more resources visit the UW Counseling Center.
