Let's Talk is coming back to campus this spring! This event provides easy access to free, informal, and confidential one-on-one consultation with a SHAC Counseling Services staff member.
Especially helpful for students who have a specific concern and want to talk about it, prefer brief & informal consultations over ongoing therapy, and/or would like to consult with a Counseling Services staff member about what therapy looks like.
How does Let's Talk work?
👥Students are seen on a first come, first served basis. No appointment needed!
⏳Appointments are brief - just 15-30 minutes.
💚If our SHAC partner is with another student, wait for your turn in the Duck Nest (Rm 222).
