getting the help you need

 

The Counseling and Mental Health Center is there as a resource for TCU students. Located at the bottom level of Samuelson Hall, there are many options from group therapy to individual counseling sessions. Students are encouraged to seek professional help for themselves or a peer whenever an issue arises. Privacy of any visitor is ensured: "Due to laws protecting the privacy of [their] clients, the Center may not disclose whether a student is a client without a signed release of information."

 

First time visitors to the center are advised to go during walk-in clinic times, which are every business day from 10-11:30 a.m. and 1-3 p.m. After that initial session, students will be assigned to a counselor. For more information visit the Counseling and Mental Health Center's website. 

 

An asset that is also available to TCU students is the Need to Talk help line number. This line is open 24/7 and any time a student needs to talk to a mental health professional. No matter how big or small the issue, if you or someone you know needs someone to talk to please have them call 817-257-SAFE (7233).

 

For immediate help, contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline anytime at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). There, one can better understand and help those in suicidal crisis's. In case of an emergency, dial 911.
