Well-Being Resources at SLU
Mental health counseling, spiritual support, and well-being resources are available for all members of the SLU community.
Now and throughout the year, the well-being resources on this page can help you cope with stress, manage ongoing mental health concerns, respond to loss, make sense of traumatic events, and/or find strategies to navigate everyday challenges. Whatever your circumstances, please do not hesitate to access the valuable support mental health professionals can provide.
If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal or distressing thoughts, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255.
