Meetings with a counselor (psychologist, social worker, licensed mental health clinician, or psychiatrist) are free and confidential. Additionally, peer groups associated with Counseling and Mental Health Services celebrate and support each other in every endeavor, and offer valuable perspectives on the challenges Harvard undergraduates face. CAMHS offers groups and workshops year-round to support students' wellbeing.

Harvard undergraduates can access confidential peer counseling through six distinct student organizations, staffed by counselors trained to support their fellow students. Five of the groups – Contact, ECHO, Indigo, Response and Room 13 – offer 1:1 support through drop-in and phone line hours, and HUGPT additionally offers a peer group therapy model. Counselors are trained to create a safe, non-judgmental space where students can openly share concerns, whether they be academic, personal or professional, or about relationships, identity, social topics, or other issues. For more information on each group, dates/times and contact information, check out https://calendar.college.harvard.edu/camhs.
