UCI Student Health Center is committed to supporting best practices in the delivery of health care services to our students. SHC’s onsite Mental Health Clinic is offers primarily in-person services, and at-least your first evaluative appointment is expected to be in person. For established students who have an active, existing treatment relationship with a Psychiatry & Mental Health provider and who are still located in the state of California, occasional telemental health appointments can be offered on a case-by-case basis.
For students who want exclusive telemental health services, or who are in the U.S. but not physically located in the state of California, SHC is pleased to offer a variety of convenient online services that are designed to increase and improve access to care for students. The following online mental health services are currently offered:
- LiveHealth Online (UC SHIP in-network telemedicine and telemental health service that uses HIPAA-compliant video conferencing). Available to all students 24/7 but is not a substitute for SHC clinicians. If you use a LHO provider when SHC is closed, please complete the steps on the last bullet on the sidebar.
- Therapy Assisted Online (TAO Self-Help): free self-guided learning about mental health
- Everfi/Foundry (Mental Health & Well-Being Course for College Students. This is a mandatory course for new and transfer students.)
