Telehealth, Online, and Off-Campus Services

LifeWorks/MySSP: Through the telehealth platform LifeWorks/MySSP, all Bowdoin students have free access to crisis management and short-term counseling via text chats, phone calls, and video sessions, as well as a host of online educational and coping resources. 

Togetherall.com is an online mental health community (“clinically moderated peer support”) available to all students, 24/7/365. Through this site, students can anonymously offer and receive peer-to-peer support for mental health concerns. The site is also monitored by licensed therapists in case of crisis. This resource may be especially helpful for students feeling isolated or alone, and there are a host of educational content and self-assessments.

LifeStance: We will also be collaborating locally with LifeStance to offer a robust network of providers in Maine (covered by a student’s insurance) that will prioritize our students for services that include counseling, psychiatric care, and psychological assessment.
