CAPS Services for Students of Color
Sometimes all we need is a listening ear! Our Let’s Talk counselors are available to listen, validate, and support you. They will help you identify different options or solutions to your problem, explore strengths and skills that you already possess and maybe forgot you had, and share with you new tools and resources that can be helpful to you in navigating situations and building resilience. We are here to support your mental health, overall wellness, and academic success!
Let’s Talk is an outreach and prevention program. It is not counseling, so there is no treatment plan, treatment goals, appointment notes, or tracking of progress. It also is not crisis intervention. If you are interested in counseling, please schedule an initial evaluation through the CAPS portal. We encourage you to download the TELUS Health Student Support app app for numerous resources as well as 24/7 access to virtual counseling via chat and phone. CAPS provides crisis intervention Monday - Friday from 8am-4pm at the Student Services Building. HelpLine (979-845-2700) offers support to students from 4pm-8am and on weekends while classes are in session. Local and national emergency resources are also available to assist you.
We hope to see you at the DMS!
