TALK IT OUT
Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays
Through the Talk It Out program at the Office for Graduate Life and Diversity, you can speak with a counselor from Counseling & Psychological Services (C&PS) for 15 to 20 minutes about your concerns, get help with problem-solving, and ask any questions you may have about therapy or C&PS.
A Talk It Out counselor can also guide you through the process of setting up an appointment at C&PS or discuss potential resources both on and off campus. Please note that we request you keep your video on during these check-ins.

Financial wellbeing and mental health are interconnected. When someone's financial situation is stable, it can positively impact their mental health by reducing stress, anxiety, and feelings of insecurity. On the other hand, financial difficulties can significantly impact mental health in various ways. This session will teach you how to balance your finances without taking a toll on your mental health.

Movement plays a significant role in supporting mental health. The connection between physical activity and mental wellbeing is robust. Movement doesn't mean intense workouts, moderate activities like walking, yoga, dancing, or playing an intramural sport can have positive effects on your mental health. Finding activities that one enjoys and can sustain regularly is key.
