Mental Health
This page lists non-emergency resources around mental health.
Know Your Way Around

Both sites are worth exploring. Below we highlight mental health resources that are most frequently utilized.

- “Get Support” lists where to find support for students, and staff and faculty.
- "Help Others" includes links to training, the movie "Intervene" and information about the different levels of distress.
- CVM has created a mental health infographic that you can download and print to hang in your office or in other common spaces where authorized. The infographic lists where to turn to depending on the level of concern.
Physical or Mental Health Concern – For Yourself or Someone Else
- The Concern for Others page from Health at Cornell lists information for students who are concerned about another student.
