Belmont University Health Services works closely with Belmont University Counseling Services to provide students with accessible, professional mental health care including mental health assessment, emergent care, and short-term solution focused treatment, as well as referral to off-campus specialists and services as needed. We strive to empower students to take charge of their health and educate them on how physical and mental health are intertwined. A nurse practitioner will meet with the student and customize a unique plan of care.
- We strongly urge you to visit Counseling Services before scheduling with Health Services.
- Your initial evaluation will be a 40 minute appointment with a Nurse Practitioner in the Health Services clinic.
- The Nurse Practitioner will create a plan of care for you which may include prescription of mental health related medications, referral to psychiatrist if necessary, and/or a plan to continue care with Counseling Services
- Mental health medications require monitoring at regular intervals. Repeated missed appointments may result in the inability of Belmont University Health Services to be your mental health provider or a transfer of care to an outside mental health service whose schedule better suits your needs.
We strongly recommend that any current prescriptions be transferred to our on-campus pharmacy or a nearby location in Nashville
- If prescriptions or care cannot be transferred due to state restrictions, you will need to schedule an initial 40 minute appointment with a Nurse Practitioner.
- Our Nurse Practitioners can prescribe some mental health related medications, however, you may be referred to a psychiatrist for further care.
