HU CARES

The Howard University Center for Advocacy, Research, and Educational Services (HU CARES) Mental Health Clinic aims to provide a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where individuals can entrust their journey towards emotional wellness. Recognizing the pressing need for accessible, compassionate, culturally aware, and effective mental health services, the establishment of HU CARES clinic will serve as comprehensive mental health clinic dedicated to serving the larger Howard University community within and outside the hallow walls.
  
The Clinic will service individuals of all ages; however, it will prioritize the needs of children and young adults that are experiencing educational and/or mental health challenges, including but not limited to developmentally delayed, learning disabilities, behavioral problems, anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use disorders, and mood disorders.
  
The Clinic will be conveniently located in the School of Education Miner Building with easy access to public transportation and centrally located on the campus of Howard University. The Clinic will feature welcoming and comfortable space designed to promote relaxation, privacy, and confidentiality. As part of our commitment to sustainability and growth, the Clinic will seek partnerships with insurance providers, healthcare systems, community organizations, and philanthropic donors to ensure financial viability and expand our reach to underserved populations. Clients will pay a nominal fee based on a sliding scale for the services rendered.
