Below are some mental resources for all student-athletes at Penn
Wellness at Penn
- The Wellness at Penn initiative affirms wellness as a core priority and necessary driver of life on campus. It offers opportunities to reflect and engage on issues of wellness, stress, mental health, resilience, happiness, personal and academic goals, and the meaning of success. And it defines wellness as an ongoing holistic process with multiple dimensions.
Campus Health & Wellness
- Campus Health is continuing to offer their innovative and evidence based programming to students, whether you’re on campus or participating online. They are committing to helping you stay well and live well.
Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS)
- The counseling staff remains available to offer a full range of clinical services. You may connect with a member of their Drop-In team or schedule an Initial Assessment to begin crafting a support plan. Visits will be conducted primarily through telehealth. If you feel you need an in-person consultation, please call 215-898-7021, option 2. You can use your PennOpen Pass or participate in a brief phone health screening followed by a clinical discussion about your needs.
Penn Violence Prevention
- Penn Violence Prevention (PVP) engages the Penn community in the prevention of sexual violence, relationship violence, stalking, and sexual harassment on campus. They foster collaborative relationships across campus to ensure a survivor-centered, multi-faceted approach to support services and primary prevention.
Hazing Education
Office of Alcohol & Other Drug Program Initiatives
- The mission of the Office of Alcohol and Other Drug Program Initiatives is to reduce harm related to alcohol and other drug use at the University of Pennsylvania. Key efforts focus on education, prevention and confidential, non-judgmental brief interventions for both individual Penn students and student groups.
