Health & Wellness at Barnard is comprised of four primary areas, each of which will be represented during the Open House.

Primary Care Health Service (PCHS) is the health center for all Barnard students, with the mission to provide excellent clinical health care in a sensitive, non-judgmental, and responsive manner; to promote the health of body, mind, and spirit within the student community; and to educate students to become knowledgeable and effective users of health care. All on-site primary care services are free and available to students, regardless of insurance status. This semester, PCHS is open for telehealth and scheduled in-person appointments. More information, including available services, can be found on the PCHS website.

The Rosemary Furman Counseling Center offers free, short-term psychological counseling and psychopharmacological treatment for all Barnard students, regardless of their current residence. All services are being offered virtually this semester, and referrals can be provided both in New York City and elsewhere. In addition, Furman offers same-day, urgent appointments during office hours; provides an after-hours emergency service; and offers a number of support groups for students. More information and self-help resources can be found on Furman’s webpage.

Well-Woman (WW), Barnard’s health promotion and education program, is a resource through which students can learn about and explore every aspect of health and wellness – including (but not limited to) self-care and community care, sleep, sexual health, mindfulness, nutrition, stress management, body image, mental health, relationships, and identity. WW can also assist students with finding and utilizing available health resources at Barnard and beyond. WW’s staff and volunteer student peer educators are offering their programs virtually this semester, including workshops, conversations, craft nights, and other chances to connect with one another.

The mission of Beyond Barnard is to support all Barnard students and alumnae as they define, pursue, and achieve success in their careers and communities. We provide support on careers, internships, student jobs, competitive fellowships, and graduate and professional school. All of our advising and events have been virtual since March, and we continue to conduct hundreds of one-on-one advising events per month, while hosting a wide range of informational programs and events featuring employers, alumnae, faculty, and more. Whether students are creating their first resumes, exploring career or graduate options, or want to connect with mentors about navigating jobs and internships (or anything in between), Beyond Barnard is here. Students can always tap into our resources via Handshake, and by emailing questions to beyondbarnard@barnard.edu.

Access Barnard encompasses Student Success, Opportunity Programs, and International Student Services (ISS).

Access Barnard leverages the resources of the college and New York City as a whole to support students who identify as international, first-generation, or low-income as they navigate the American higher education system. Access Barnard seeks to bridge the gaps that first-time undergraduates often face as they transition into college. Access Barnard enhances the robust programming and supportive functions of International Student Services, Opportunity Programs, and First-Generation, Low-Income Initiatives.

After launching at the beginning of the Fall semester, Access Barnard's initial stage is focused on student engagement via virtual programming which includes enrichment workshops, group advising, and social programs.  In addition, our team facilitates virtual open hours, 1-1 advising, and evening support group sessions.  Access Barnard will launch a college-wide peer mentoring program in the next few weeks open to all first-year students and transfers.  Interested students will be matched with junior level peer mentors. Access Barnard will continue to grow and develop in the coming semesters.

You can find more information about Access Barnard via our website, or email us at accessbarnard@barnard.edu
