Letter to the Editor

We are at a point in the semester when many students increase help-seeking behaviors due to stress. The Counseling Services Center staff encourage this! As such, we want to ensure that students are aware of additional resources and services that we offer beyond individual counseling. These include Let’s Talk, which is an individualized, walk-in (non-crisis) service, available various days and times, in multiple locations across campus. As needed, students may choose to use walk-in crisis services available Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 3:30 p.m. Group counseling has been expanded to include many new offerings, which can be found on our website. We recently partnered with BetterMynd, an off-campus, online platform that connects students to a therapist using their insurance or self-pay. Lastly, after-hours crisis is available by telephone any time the Counseling Services Center is closed. Students can access this service by calling 315-312-4416 and choose option two at the prompt. We can also support students by providing a current referral list for off-campus providers (using personal insurance or self-pay). The Counseling Services Center is located at 113 Walker Health Center and our website is located at oswego.edu/csc.

Sincerely,

Kate Wolfe-Lyga, LMHC, ACS

Director, Counseling Services
