LGBTQ+ Health
Student Wellbeing is committed to providing students of all gender identities and sexual orientations a safe space to access high-quality and equitable healthcare.
We understand that LGBTQ+ students have similar physical and mental healthcare needs as any other student, as well as unique needs related to their identity. Our clinicians receive specialized training to provide sensitive and supportive care that meets their needs and prioritizes confidentiality. Our welcoming spaces, discreet check-in processes and waiting areas protect privacy, improve safety and enhance efficiency.
Feedback and Questions
All patients receive anonymous surveys regarding their medical and counseling appointments to provide wellbeing clinicians with feedback on their patient experience and, if desired, contact information for further discussion.
Questions can be addressed to the LGBTQ+ Health Ally Team.
