Psychological Health and Counseling

Students should be realistic about their abilities to function in a high-stress environment.  It is difficult to live abroad and, rather than disappearing in the new surroundings, conditions like depression and eating disorders are often exacerbated by a stay abroad.  Psychological counseling services are available in Spain, and if you find yourself in need, you should ask our on-site staff for referrals.  English-language, in-person counseling is limited outside of Madrid. Students with particular concerns are encouraged to consult with International Programs at Middlebury College prior to departure. 

Online resources for crisis support or ongoing counseling sessions are also available. You can contact the School in Spain staff for more information.
