Additional Mental Health Services Available for Students


Stout students now have access to increased free round-the-clock mental health resources through a new you.uwstout.edu web based platform. The new enhanced online services are available due to the generosity of federal funding and the State of Wisconsin. The services are available to all students, including Customized Instruction students.

The YOU platform (you.uwstout.edu) increases mental health services and crisis support services, while also connecting students to existing campus resources. Students log in with their Stout credentials.
