Navigating Telehealth
and Privacy

COVID restrictions have made it so many healthcare providers are moving their services online. Many students, either living at home with family, or with roommates, are struggling to find ways to find private space for health care meetings. The MHPs have listed some strategies for how to find some privacy and peace of mind for your next remote health care appointment. 

Strategies for finding privacy

Places For Therapy on Zoom/Telehealth

  • Use a sound machine or White noise apps/videos
  • Scheduling around housemate/family schedules
  • Asking housemates to go to another location
  • Wearing headphones
  • Putting a towel in the crack under the door
  • Do not disturb signs on your door
  • Ask housemates to wear headphones
  • Schedule session when you know housemates will be out
  • Set up a codeword with your therapist to let them know your privacy has been compromised
  • Music library listening rooms
  • Reserve library room
  • FT and San Rafael study rooms ​​
  • Benches at IV Parks
  • Grass and Manzinita Dorms
