Student Health and Counseling Resources

Resources for All

Student Health and Counseling stand in support of all students in our community with medical, emotional, and general wellness needs.

Student Health and Counseling stands in support of our BIPOC community with medical, emotional, and general wellness needs. If you would like to participate in counseling with a therapist of color, please inquire by calling us at 914.323.5155 or emailing us at shac@mville.edu. If we do not have someone on staff, we would be happy to work with you to find a therapist in the community. 

We have also listed a variety of resources for students of color below:  

LGBTQIA+ Services 

SHAC Health Services offers a wide range of LGBTQ services, from appropriate contraceptives to sharps disposal bins for those using injectable hormones. 

We are committed to ensuring health equity and improving access to quality healthcare for LGBTQIA+/TGNCNB students.  We work hard to provide a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment for all students. 

LGBTQIA+/TGNCNB Health 

The following is a list of services provided: 

  • Pap smears 
  • STI testing – includes HIV, Hepatitis C, and syphilis testing 
  • Referral for Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention  
  • Free condoms and dental dams 
  • Contraceptive management 
  • Safe sex information 
  • Blood drawing 
  • Administration of OR assistance with administering injectable hormones (must bring your medication in the original packaging with the pharmacy label intact)   
  • Provide and dispose of sharps containers.   

 

TGNCNB Health 

SHAC Health recognizes that transgender, gender nonconforming, and non-binary students may be hesitant to access healthcare, so, we work to create and maintain a safe, non-judgmental space where students can ask questions, get answers, and receive compassionate health care in a supportive environment. 

Our providers are able to refer students to specialists who are knowledgeable in gender transition. We, along with our Counseling Services colleagues, believe it is important to provide ongoing support and primary care services with respect and knowledge of the medical and emotional issues unique to transitioning. 

TGNCNB Counseling 

SHAC Counseling Services staff are committed to providing affirming, quality mental health services to transgender, gender non-conforming, non-binary, and sexually diverse students.  Our staff are trained in the complexities relating to questioning sexuality, gender, and the process of coming out.  Students may find it helpful to speak with one of our counselors who can provide support and assistance to students navigating through these important milestones in their identity development. 

Pathways and Connections Program

The Pathways and Connections Program (PAC) is an innovative, comprehensive, fee-based program designed to assist college-ready, neurodivergent students. 

The program, designed around student development theory, provides students with emotional and practical supports vital to success. Students work to develop skills in executive functioning, self-advocacy, problem-solving, independent living, social skills, and career development.
