GLBTQ Health

UHS recognizes the complexity of sexuality, gender and identity, and is here to support you and your choices.

Sexuality and relationships

Mental and emotional health

UHS’ Mental Health Services is a safe, supportive environment in which to explore issues including adjustment to college life, stress, depression or anxiety, family or relationship concerns and more.

Mental Health Services is located at 127 Hills North; call (413) 545-2337. If it’s a weekday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., you’ll talk with a senior clinician who will recommend services based on your needs. Urgent appointments are available within 24 to 48 hours.

If you’re calling after 5 p.m., on a weekend or holiday, call UHS, (413) 577-5000, and ask for the mental health on-call clinician. Or, just come to Urgent Care at UHS.

Emergency service are available 24/7 every day. On weekdays from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., call Mental Health Services and ask for the on-call clinician. After hours, call or come to UHS.

For transitioning students

UHS primary care providers collaborate with area specialists to support the health care needs of transitioning students. Students planning to transition, or in the process of transitioning, should consult with a UHS provider; call 577-5101 for an appointment.

The Director of the The Stonewall Center, Brett Genny Beemyn, brettgenny@stuaf.umass.edu, can also provide support and assistance.

Coming Out

Coming out is a lifelong journey where one decides to be open and honest about their sexual orientation or gender expression and identity. Figuring out who you are and how you identify can take time, and may be difficult.

There are many resources on campus that can help you explore your identity and offer support as your identity develops, including UHS' Mental Health Services office and The Stonewall Center.

Coming out to your healthcare provider may be of particular concern to you. We understand that sharing this information isn't always easy, and strive to provide a safe, supportive, confidential environment in which to discuss personal issues and obtain the best possible care.
