Health Insurance

Marist provides each First Year Abroad student with an international health insurance policy (GeoBlue), which offers a comprehensive network of healthcare providers and coverage that ranges from routine visits to specialized emergency care. There are many highly qualified, English-speaking medical professionals in Florence and Dublin, and if a hospital visit is required, a member of the residence life staff will accompany students. More information about the GeoBlue plan and coverage is shared during the pre-departure program.

Due to the unique nature of international study, students are also required to complete a health and wellness packet to ensure staff can support them in emergencies.

Counseling Services

• Florence
  • Marist Italy supports students鈥� mental and emotional well-being through access to residence life staff, on-site counseling options, and remote counseling services via Marist Counseling Services. 
• Dublin
  • Marist students studying in Dublin for their first year have access to local counseling services through the First-year Dublin Experience partners Big Pond. These fully confidential, in person or online, counseling services are offered through Insight Matters and are available at any point throughout the year to the FDE students. 

Students who are currently in treatment or have a history of mental health concerns are strongly encouraged to consult with their doctors about how studying abroad may affect their mental health, as cultural shifts and stress can heighten existing conditions.
