Bergeron Wellness Center
The Bergeron Wellness Center is excited to announce the new myHealth portal! Students are now able to make appointments, access their records and fill out forms through the new online system.
You will need your SMC login to access the health portal.
If you have questions, contact the Bergeron Wellness Center at 802.654.2234.
The vision of the Bergeron Wellness Center is to provide confidential care for the bodies, minds, and spirits of our diverse students in support of their lifelong wellbeing. We welcome all of our students in to obtain the care that will support their lives on campus and beyond.
To that end, we have nurse practitioners and mental health clinicians available at the center each weekday to provide support. We are fully handicapped accessible and also have translation services for students as needed. Our mental health clinicians and nurse practitioners can assist students in obtaining appointments off campus with local medical providers, specialists, or counseling as needed.

TalkCampus
We have launched a new mental health service called TalkCampus. It’s a free-to-download app where you can talk with other students from around the world if you’re struggling and worried about your mental health. Your student email address will give you free access, just download TalkCampus from the app stores.
TalkCampus is anonymous, it isn’t run by us and we won’t be able to see if you are using it, you also won’t be able to see where other students are from. TalkCampus is based around peer support; you can use it if you need some help yourself or you can go on there and listen and support others.
The platform is safe and moderated and is designed as a place where you can just be yourself and talk about how you’re really feeling. Student life can be tough and we know sometimes you might not want to talk to us about how you’re feeling. TalkCampus isn’t a replacement for counseling or professional support however it is a great place to start talking and to make sure that however you’re feeling right now you’re not alone.
