Let's Talk

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.

The CAPS Let’s Talk program at the LGBTQ+ Pride Center provides LGBTQ+ students with a space to discuss issues of sexuality, gender identity, intersecting identities (e.g., race/ethnicity, citizenship status, religion, etc.), and other stressors (e.g., family, finances, relationships, etc.), as these concerns can impact student mental health and academic achievement.

The CAPS Let’s Talk program at International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) provides international students with a space to discuss concerns related to transitioning to a new environment and culture, academics, and other stressors, such as family, relationships, religious concerns, finances, and immigration issues, as these concerns can impact student mental health and academic achievement.

The Let’s Talk program was created to address the negative impact that xenophobia, racism, hate crimes, and microaggressions have on international students.

If a student visits the Let’s Talk Program and they require additional support, such as counseling or crisis services, or if they would benefit from additional CAPS services, the student will be referred to CAPS for further assessment, support, and linkage to the appropriate services.
