Mental Health & Counseling

Students should be very realistic about their abilities to function in the high-stress environment that characterizes study abroad.  Jordan can be a difficult place to live at times, and certain mental and physical health conditions can be exacerbated by being abroad in general. Psychological counseling services are available in Jordan.  Please see a staff member for more information, consult the Mental Health section in the Student Guide that you’ll receive on-site, or the Student Resources folder on Google Drive, or refer to GeoBlue’s network of professionals. Students with particular concerns in this area are encouraged to consult with staff at Middlebury prior to departure.

Please also take advantage of the free online mental health support resources offered by Middlebury College via TalkNow (crisis support) and Geoblue’s Global Wellness Assist program (ongoing counseling sessions), detailed in your Student Guide (see Local Resources)
