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.
Our Let’s Talk program is now online! We will be providing virtual spaces for LGBTQ+ students, students of color, and international students to process their experiences as they navigate identity, academics, and the challenges and uncertainties related to COVID-19. Please register below for an informal consultation with one of our Let’s Talk counselors!
*Registration for each scheduled date closes the night before at 10:00 p.m.
