University of Oregon Health Services Overview

University Health Services provides comprehensive primary healthcare and mental health resources, as well as a wide array of specialty services. We work to support students in reaching their optimal health so that they can achieve their full academic and personal potential.

Mental health is just as important as physical health in maintaining a well-balanced and healthy lifestyle. It can be hard to manage your mental health with the demands of college—academics, jobs and internships, social life, extracurricular activities, sleep, and everything else you do. There are a variety of resources to help you manage your mental health. In addition to the mental health services provided by primary care clinicians, University Health Services offers outpatient psychiatric care, therapy and crisis services through the University Counseling Services, and the Duck Nest provides stress management programming and creates a relaxing environment in the heart of campus, the EMU.

University Counseling Services

Located in the second floor of the University of Oregon Health Services building on 13th Ave. and Agate St. (across from Oregon Hall), University Counseling Services provides a variety of mental health services for students, including teletherapy, support from case managers to help students figure out how to find mental health services in their home community, a support/crisis line, and other available resources:

Duck Nest

Tucked away on the ground floor of the EMU, the Duck Nest is a peer-to-peer run space that provides a relaxing atmosphere for students to unwind and deal with mental health and other issues. The Duck Nest helps students develop self-care and life-balance strategies related to stress, food security, physical health, and general wellness by providing students with resources from within the UO community and beyond. The Duck Nest divided these into eight different guides of wellness:

Student Recreation Center

Located near the residence halls in the middle of campus, the Student Recreation Center promotes healthy lifestyles for the UO community through fitness, active recreation, and participation in sports. The Student Recreation Center's core purpose is to educate, engage, and inspire the campus community to live active, balanced lives by providing the following programs:

UO Basic Needs Resource Guide

The University of Oregon has developed a UO Basic Needs Resource Guide for students, recognizing that student success is impacted by unmet basic needs such as food security and housing security. The guide includes campus and community resources that are intended to support student well-being so that students can meet their academic goals!

One Stop Student Resources

Committed to providing an environment where every member of the UO community can be successful, the University of Oregon developed a One Stop Student Resources page. The page is a hub of resources available for students, including financial support, technology resources, and wellness and recreation.
