Center for Student Health and Counseling (SHAC)

At the Center for Student Health & Counseling (SHAC), we’re committed to helping students succeed in and outside of the classroom. College is an inherently stressful time of life, full of transitions and new challenges, therefore we are proud to serve as your PSU wellness resource.
From physical, mental, and social health, we focus on the overall wellbeing of Portland State’s student body.

SHAC provides a variety of resources, for example the Confidential Advocacy program, provides trauma-informed support and resources to address sexual violence at PSU. The most dangerous time for a person to leave an abusive situation is when they actually leave. The lack of safe housing is often reported as one of the primary barrier’s survivors face when leaving an abusive situation. Your donation could significantly impact emergency housing support for a student seeking a safe environment. Everyone deserves a life free from domestic and sexual violence.

Please support SHAC's health and wellbeing promoting programs in Health Services, Counseling Services, Dental Services and Health Promotion.

Thank you for supporting student health at Portland State!
