We strive to provide high-quality health care and well-being resources that recognize the values, experiences, and needs of our diverse student community. We believe that a confidential, mutually respectful partnership between you and our staff and providers is the foundation necessary to develop and maintain optimal health and well-being. Understanding your PDF Document: rights and responsibilities and engaging your feedback about services is central to this partnership.

Your feedback is important to us, so if you had a good experience or have helpful suggestions, we encourage you to share that directly with the staff or provider in the office you visited. Our providers are trained to listen, answer your questions, and work with you to resolve concerns. For questions or concerns that arise prior to working with a provider, or if you feel it is best to speak with someone other than your provider, please share using our online feedback form.

Throughout the ongoing covid-19 pandemic, there has been a dramatic rise in the number of hate crimes and harassment toward the AAPI (Asian American Pacific Islander) and the larger APIDA (Asian Pacific Islander and Desi American) community. The Counseling Center takes a strong stance against racism in every shape and form and our hearts go out to those impacted by these anti-Asian, anti-APIDA, and anti-immigrant acts. We stand in solidarity with those who are impacted, and those who continue to fight against the racism and prejudice that are directed toward the APIDA community. We offer this list which, while not comprehensive, provides a multitude of ways to respond to these acts of hatred: through speaking up and reporting crime, through sharing stories and connecting with our supportive communities, through allyship in organizations that fight against systemic racism, and/or through mental health care to manage the emotional trauma of living in these times. We hope that you, your friends and family, allies and others you know who may have been impacted, will find these resources helpful.

The Johns Hopkins University Counseling Center condemns anti-Blackness, racism, and white supremacy, in every shape and form. In the wake of the recent murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless others; in the midst of a Pandemic that is disproportionately killing Black, Latinx, and Indigenous communities in the United States; in the 400+ year history of this country in which the foundation of slavery and genocide can be traced through to today’s disparities in, among other vital areas, public health, victimization by state violence, and access to resources, we, the staff of the CC, stand in solidarity with and in support of our Black students and colleagues, as well as our Baltimore neighbors and global citizens everywhere who are rising up. We affirm that Black Lives Matter and that we cannot return to a normal that does not recognize this as basic fact. We also affirm and acknowledge our center must examine ourselves and our systems to ensure that we are doing everything we can to undo and repair, rather than replicate, the white supremacist ideologies that have constructed many of our notions of mental health and mental illness and cause so much harm.
