SHAC is more than just a physical health resource. Yes, you can schedule appointments for medical and dental needs. But you can also take care of your mental and sexual health here as well. SHAC has therapist appointments for students seeking mental health. Students can get free condoms, dental dams, and get STI and HIV screenings to maintain sexual well-being. There is also a mind spa. You can sit in a massage chair or relax in a nook while being bathed in light therapy. SHAC not only wants to treat the common cold and make sure you get as few cavities as possible while pounding Redbulls during finals (they probably would not recommend pounding Redbulls but…), but SHAC wants PSU’s campus to be healthy throughout all aspects of being a person in the crazy world we live in today.
