Student health and wellness is a top priority as we know that law school can be a stressful endeavor. If you find that you are in need of additional assistance to help balance the many priorities that students have, please contact Lauren Berger at lauren.berger@law.unh.edu
UNH Law has partnered with Riverbend Community Mental Health to provide a drop-in counselor for students once a week. Our counselor is Emily Turcotte, and she has been working with the law school students since 2018. Emily’s hours and availability are announced each week via email. To set up an appointment outside of the drop-in hours for ongoing therapy, students can call the Riverbend Admissions line at 603-228-1600, option 1, and share that they are a law student who would like to meet with Emily. Riverbend takes all forms of insurance.
If a student is in a period of mental health crisis, they are encouraged to call or text New Hampshire's Rapid Response Access Point 24/7 at 833-710-6477. A trained professional will help the student to find immediate help or resources.
Additional counselors can be found in the Health Resources listed below
