Supporting EWU Students: Expanded Counseling and Wellness Services

At Eastern Washington University, we know that mental health and overall well-being are essential to student success. That’s why Counseling and Wellness is excited to announce a new partnership with BetterMynd, an online counseling platform that provides EWU students with free online mental health sessions.

This collaboration gives students greater flexibility and access to mental health care, including evenings and weekends, when traditional campus services may not be available. Students can now connect with licensed counselors from the comfort of their own space, ensuring support is always within reach.

In addition to this new resource, Counseling and Wellness continues to offer a wide range of programs designed to support student well-being:

• Individual Counseling: Personalized sessions with licensed mental health clinicians.
