Health & Safety

They’re in good hands

Their well-being still matters. UW has the people and the systems to help.

From exceptional medical care and mental health counseling to recreation classes, safety resources, peer advocates and more, the UW offers a breadth of resources to keep our students healthy and well cared for.

Talk with your Husky

  • Ask how they’re feeling. Know what to look for if you’re worried.
  • Walk through their getting-home plan and who they call if plans change.
  • Establishing an emergency contact (such as a friend or roommate) for family members to call in case of emergency
