MBA SAS Staff

Students may work with a member of the SAS team, who have clinical training and licensure in the state of Massachusetts and a significant breadth of clinical experience in University mental health. SAS staff can assist students regarding a variety of issues they may experience while attending Harvard Business School, including acculturation and adjustment issues, academic and personal stressors, anxiety, relationships, time management, and obtaining balance between academic, social, and recruiting responsibilities, among other issues. There is no fee to meet with the SAS team.

Counseling and Mental Health Services (CAMHS)

Harvard University CAMHS provides a number of resources and support systems to the greater Harvard Community. Your first contact with CAMHS typically begins with an initial 20-minute phone consult you make on the Harvard University Health Services patient portal. This is so they can learn about your concerns and make recommendations for the best next steps. It's best to schedule a consultation as soon as possible if you are considering counseling services; as the semester progresses the amount of wait time for an Initial Consultation may increase. CAMHS clinicians are a dedicated group of licensed mental health clinicians, nurse prescribers, psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers. Services are available in-person (office located in Harvard Square) and via telemedicine appointments (phone/Zoom).

CAMHS Cares Line

The CAMHS Cares line, 617-495-2042, is a 24/7 support line for Harvard students who have mental health concerns, whether they are in immediate distress or not, on-campus or elsewhere. Deaf or hard of hearing Harvard students may connect to the 24/7 CAMHS Cares Support Line by dialing 711 to reach a TRS (Telecommunications Relay Service) in their local area, which will assist with getting connected to the CAMHS Cares Line.

Off-Campus Provider Network

Students may meet with Suzy Conway, Director of SAS, to facilitate a referral to our off-campus mental health cohort, which is comprised of social workers, psychologists, and psychiatrists who maintain private practices in the Harvard Square area and accept the student health insurance. These clinicians typically work with students who have an interest in a long-term therapeutic relationship while attending HBS. Students typically schedule an appointment with Suzy Conway to discuss their mental health needs to ascertain the level of service most appropriate to their needs and facilitate a referral.
