Our center is closed for the months of June and July. While we take this brief summer hiatus, student mental health remains our top priority. We’ve partnered with the Crisis Text Line. If you need to talk, just text ‘BOLT’ to 741-741 for free, immediate, and confidential assistance. We’ve also compiled a list of resources available over the summer to help you stay connected and supported.
