During a Let's Talk session, you can speak with a clinician about concerns, get help problem-solving, and learn more about counseling services at CAPS and other resources available to you at UGA and in the Athens area.
Let's talk consultations are:
- Free for UGA students
- Offered on a first-come, first-served basis, no appointment necessary
- Confidential
- Informal and not intended to be a substitute for traditional counseling
- A one-on-one, 10-15 minute informal consultation with a staff member from Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS)
- New insights and solutions to your concerns and information about resources on and off campus
- Other Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Let’s Talk via Zoom can only be accessed on the day of the session. If you would like to access Let’s Talk today, click here
- Consultations will occur in the order in which students log in. Please remain in the Zoom waiting room in which you are directed, unless provided an alternative Zoom link via the chat function, to maintain your place in the order.
- Although Let’s Talk consultants are mental health professionals, Let’s Talk consultations do not constitute mental health treatment.
- Let’s Talk conversations are not part of students’ releasable records.
- Limits to confidentiality – When there is an immediate threat of harm to you or others, Let’s Talk consultants are required by law to report this. When a minor, elderly person, or someone otherwise incapacitated is being abused, Let’s Talk consultants are also required by law to report this.
- If your Let’s Talk clinician assesses that you could benefit from a higher level of care, every effort will be made to refer you to other appropriate resources at the university and in the surrounding community.
