Gannett Health Services

<p>How helpful is Gannett Health Services when it comes to counseling? I don't mean to ask about anyone's private issues; just wondering if most students find Gannett a good resource to turn to. Do they really seem to care about students and schedule as many appointments as necessary, etc., or do they just refer you to other specialists? </p>

<p>Also, are all counseling sessions anonymous (as in, no parents called) if there's no real danger, and you just needed someone to talk to?</p>

<p>yes they are great…</p>

<p>the problem is (especially with counseling) is not being able to see anyone during prelim/finals time…</p>

<p>which is why if you need counseling please go ahead and take care of that at the beginning of the semester.</p>

<p>I don’t know yet whether I’ll want/need counseling…just want to keep my options open and get a feel for how helpful Gannett really is. Also, confidentiality is really important to me.</p>

<p>This is the general website for Counseling and Psychological Services as offered by Gannett:</p>

<p>[Welcome</a> to Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) at Cornell University](<a href=“http://www.gannett.cornell.edu/CAPS/]Welcome”>http://www.gannett.cornell.edu/CAPS/)</p>

<p>I have a question about Gannett.
If we don’t do anything about their insurance (SHIP), they’ll auto-enroll you in that program, right? If so, then when approximately will they send you the bill?</p>

<p>I’m not sure about when, but yes they will auto-enroll you.</p>

<p>The SHIP bill gets added on to your bursar bill if I’m not mistaken.</p>

<p>if you have any concerns at all…it’s best to get you on file asap…</p>

<p>for CAPS if you’re a new patient they do a phone screening/interview for like 10-15minutes to have a rough idea as to who might be the best person for you to see…once the semester starts going it can take days to even get this phone interview…and then more days to actually see someone (if there’s even room) </p>

<p>the only way they will grant you a space is if you say you’re suicidal…but unless you are…that’s not the route to go considering they can hospitalize you</p>
