Over 600 people have signed a petition to reinstate EARS peer counseling after the University found that its insurance does not cover the service.
A well-meaning friend recently responded to my apology with an invitation to try going on antidepressants. After I politely declined, he insisted that it worked wonders for him and suggested I really think about it again. And so I have, and I stand by my initial position. I am accountable for my own mental wellness. Me not opting for professional help means I do not want to outsource the work I know I have cut out for me; it is not my refusal to admit a problem.
Gregory Eells, who has worked at Cornell Health’s Counseling and Psychological Services for 15 years, will be the executive director of CAPS at the University of Pennsylvania starting in March.
