What is Health Services?
Health Services is a health resource for students. It seeks to provide students with educational information, referrals to healthcare agencies in the Duluth area, health insurance information, health promotion programs etc.
Health Education:
Various workshops, health screenings and seminars are conducted throughout the academic year as well as a large selection of brochures and pamphlets are available to you at no charge on a wide variety of health related topics throughout the campus.
Alcohol, Drugs and Tobacco use:
For assessment, intervention, treatment or support, there are many good agencies and programs in the Duluth area. For assistance in locating these resources, contact Health Services and/or Counseling Department. Freedom From Smoking is an 8 week smoking cessation class offered to students throughout the year through Health Services. If you want to quit and have questions, please see Roxanne Frederick in Health Services.
Mental Health Services:
We have Counselors on campus that offer academic and personal counseling as well as referrals to necessary agencies. The Counseling Department can assist you with intervention options. Stress can present itself in many ways and create both physical and emotional symptoms.
