Mental Health

Keep Telehealth Free

Make sure that the Student Health Plan (SHP) covers off-campus telehealth appointments at 100% as long as many students continue to live off-campus.

Fight for Affordable Off-Campus Care

When we return to campus, continue the Mental Health Task Force's advocacy on adding prescribers to the Exclusive Provider Network (EPN) and funding transportation to and from appointments (I started working on this with my task force before COVID).

Increase CPS Outreach

Work with ODUS and Counseling and Psychological Services (CPS) to send counselors to meet with student groups or leaders at the beginning of each school year so that students are familiar with CPS's staff. Push for more more direct communication from CPS to students about its services.

Increase the Size and Diversity of CPS Staff

Work with CPS to set hiring targets and advocate for hiring more BIPOC counselors so that CPS meets the needs of a growing and more diverse student body.

Make Insurance Transparent

Work with the Disability Collective to maintain an updated guide on how to use SHP remotely and push for SHP to email students whenever there are changes to benefits.
