Support for students affected by conflict

The WVU Health Sciences community includes students, faculty and staff with ties to various regions of the world. Events happening across the globe can bring about mixed emotions and affect our mental health and well-being. Conflict can have a traumatic impact on us, even when not physically present or directly involved. The BeWell team extends their support for students impacted by current and past unrest, and they are available to support students navigate unsettling times.

WVU Health Sciences students can access support by calling or emailing the BeWell team:

Students can also request an appointment online.

If you are in crisis and need urgent counseling, please call WVU’s Carruth Center at 304-293-4431. Support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

WVU Health Sciences faculty and staff can access support through the Faculty and Staff Assistance Program.
