]]>First day of classes online, we got this UMBC! Show us your best distance learning outfit or your set-up for the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL photo. We will pick some of our favorites and send you a care package. #UMBCTogether, because we are going to get through this together while we are apart.
The Haven at College, a UMBC partner providing outpatient treatment and recovery housing, is now admitting students to its confidential virtual outpatient program tailored to the specific needs of college students.
All online outpatient services are covered by student health insurance (telehealth services in-network with Carefirst) and students can connect with like-minded peers who, along with Haven clinicians, provide community, accountability, and relief from isolation during this challenging time.
Treatment services include group, individual and family therapy; case management; life skills and educational sessions. Community support includes recovery coaching, family support, online recovery meetings and online peer support.
UMBC's Haven Recovery Residence has suspended services at this time. The Haven Residence at College Park is open to UMBC students.
