Center for Women and Community 
at UMass



We offer an important alternative to traditional mental health services with our empowerment based counseling model. Our counseling services recognize the intersectionality of oppressions that are faced by students and community members - our counselors are trained to support those looking for general or specific assistance. When appropriate, we make referrals to community agencies and therapists in private practice. Feel free to contact us for referrals.
You can call, email or come visit the center and one of our trained staff members will assist you in locating the services you need.  We offer many services but in the event that we do not offer the service you need, we can connect you to who does.

The Massachusetts Substance Use Helpline

The Helpline is the only statewide, public resource for finding licensed and approved substance use treatment and recovery services. Our goal is to give you the information and treatment referrals that are right for you. We refer to hundreds of treatment services funded or licensed by the MA Department of Public Health. We don’t sell anything and we don’t operate any treatment programs.

Our services are free and confidential, and we are committed to providing caring and non-judgmental support to anyone who needs help. Trained Helpline Specialists will help you understand the treatment system and your options.

Anyone can use the Helpline, whether you’re struggling with substance use or care about someone who is. When you call or use the website, the Helpline will:

  • Assess your needs with simple questions
  • Provide referrals to treatment and recovery services
  • Help you access treatment
  • Answer your questions about addiction, treatment, and recovery

Call 800-327-5050 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Helpline is open on all holidays. And if you’d like, we’ll even follow up with you after your first call, to see how you’re doing.

You can also find treatment options 24 hours a day on our website.
