UHC Clinical Social Workers are involved in many ways across campus, including participation on multidisciplinary campus committees, providing mental health education, and meeting with students and U-M community members one-on-one to assess needs, discuss barriers to care, and connect to resources. All services are free.
Specifically, they offer:
- Emotional support and adjustment to illness counseling
- Connection to mental health and campus/community resources
- Psychoeducation
- Help navigating the health care system
- Discussion and advocacy regarding distrust of, discomfort with, and barriers to accessing health care due to all forms of oppression
- Support for patients receiving care in all UHS clinics, including specialty clinics and gender-affirming care
- Coordination of care within and between UHS clinics
How to connect with a UHC Clinical Social Worker:
- Email an individual social worker if you’d like (see directory below), or email the team of social workers at UHC-SocialWorkClinical@med.umich.edu
- E-mail is not necessarily a secure form of communication; please be mindful of the information you include in email.
Please call an individual social worker and leave a message on their confidential voicemail (Social workers have a clinic/remote hybrid schedule and will not be in the office with access to voicemail every day).
