The following message is from the Division of Student Affairs:
Students, Faculty, and Staff,
With the end of the semester, we wanted to share a few reminders for exam week and winter break.
TimelyCare, an online, on-demand service for mental health, continues to be available to UMW students 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This free service extends beyond the hours of the Talley Center for Counseling Services, and is available via an app on your phone or online at any time, even breaks.
As part of UMW’s partnership with TimelyCare, students have access to services such as:
- TalkNow: 24/7, on-demand emotional support to talk about anything, including anxiety, relationships, depression, and school-related stressors.
- Scheduled Counseling: Choose the day, time, and mental health provider that best works for you. (12 visits per year from August 1 to July 31)
- Health Coaching: Develop healthy lifestyle behaviors, including nutrition, sleep habits, time management, and mindfulness.
- Psychiatry: Appointments are available through referrals.
- Self-Care Content: Visit the “Explore” page within TimelyCare for guided self-care content, including yoga and meditation sessions, as well as group conversations with our providers on a variety of health and well-being topics.
Students will need to complete a quick health form upon the first log in, so check it out now, and it will be downloaded and ready when you need it.
Go to timelycare.com/umw or download the TimelyCare app to access care.
Download via Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
TimelyCare uses single sign-on so you’ll access it with your UMW NetID – just using umw.edu at the end (mail.umw.edu will not work).
More information and resources are available on the Talley Center website.
For faculty and staff, information about the Employee Assistance Program, which is available at no cost with state employee health insurance plans, may be accessed through the Human Resources website.
As you prepare for winter break and gathering with friends and family, we also encourage you to take care of your health. Self-tests for COVID continue to be available to pick-up on campus. Students, faculty and staff are welcome to stop by the Student Health Center in Lee Hall, suite 112, during business hours to pick up the kits, which are free. Visit the SHC website to learn more about COVID precautions and what to do if you are exposed or have symptoms.
We hope you stay well through exams and the holidays and have a wonderful winter break.
If you have questions, contact Vice President for Student Affairs Juliette Landphair at jlandpha@umw.edu.
