The Let’s Talk program is an outreach initiative that meets and engages students in conversation in an environment that feels safe and empowering to them. By providing this preventive care, the Let’s Talk program intends to positively contribute to the mental health and wellness of our diverse students as well as to their retention and graduation rates.
