Students can schedule the appointments by signing up through a link that will be active the same day of the Let’s Talk conversations. The counselor will listen closely to your concerns and suggestions for resources. Although Let’s Talk counselors are professionals, Let’s Talk is not a substitute for Psychotherapy/ Counseling.
Let’s Talk conversations are not part of any releasable records since you are not considered to be a client at the Personal Counseling Center (PCC). The Let’s Talk counselor can help you determine whether formal counseling at the PCC would be useful for you and, if appropriate, assist you in scheduling an appointment at that time.
Let’s Talk visits are confidential.
Conversations with Let’s Talk counselors are confidential, with a few exceptions. Counselors need to share information in an emergency when you present an imminent threat of harm to yourself or others, when a minor, elderly person, or someone otherwise incapacitated and unable to act on his/her own behalf is being abused or at high risk of abuse, and if the information is required by a court subpoena or court order.
This program is partly modeled on the “Let’s Talk” program at Cornell University. We are grateful for them to provide us with the name and idea; some of the material on their website has been duplicated here with permission. Learn more here!
