Oberlin Launches Uwill: A Teletherapy Mental Health for Students
Oberlin has partnered with Uwill, a private, secure, and confidential teletherapy service that offers convenient access to free teletherapy support resources for all Oberlin students, regardless of your location.
With Uwill, you can choose a therapist based on preferences including availability, topic, gender, language, and ethnicity. Services are available seven days a week throughout the year.
