There is a growing need for mental health support for Mason students. Most patients often approach their primary care provider first with mental health concerns, which is why Student Health Services has partnered with the College of Health and Human Services (CHHS) to expand mental health treatment options for Mason students.
Through federal grants administered by CHHS, Student Health Services has introduced two innovative initiatives that provide for mental health care in the primary care setting: the Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) program and Collaborative Care.
