Mental Health Coverage

Harvard students have FREE access to virtual care services with TimelyCare — the virtual health and well-being platform from TimelyMD, designed for college students.

*Students can access the CAMHS Cares Line 24/7 to discuss urgent concerns or to speak to someone during a difficult time to discuss a mental health issue.

**Counseling and Mental Health Services (CAMHS) offers a wonderful array of virtual programs for students to promote mental wellbeing throughout the academic year.

This care includes outpatient therapy visits, medication management, intensive outpatient programs, and hospitalizations. Students who waived SHIP should discuss their mental health coverage with their private insurance for care outside of HUHS.
