CONTINUING:

University Counseling Center (UCC) Drop-in Consultation for International and APIDA-identifying Students

UCC Drop-In Consultation provides easy access to informal, confidential, and free consultations with University Counseling Center counselors.

UCC Drop-In Consultation is generally helpful for students who 1) are not sure about counseling and wonder what it’s like to talk with a counselor, 2) may not be interested in ongoing therapy but would like the perspective of a counselor, 3) have a specific problem and would like to talk it through with a counselor, or 4) have a concern about a friend and want some thoughts about what to do.

Students who are experiencing an immediate mental health emergency are encouraged to attend UCC Urgent Care, instead of Drop-In Consultation. For any questions about UCC Drop-In Consultation, please call 615-322-2571.

Every Tuesday, beginning August 23
2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. 
Peabody Administration Building Heritage Room 218B

UCC Drop-In Consultation hours at Peabody are specifically for APIDA (Asian Pacific Islander Desi American) students and/or International students who wish to receive brief support around concerns which may be impacted by their identities, in an overtly affirming space.

Drop-in Care with SCC

Student Care Coordination Drop-in meetings are offered so that students can meet quickly with a care coordinator to discuss any immediate needs, including but not limited to:

• Planning for a successful semester
• Identifying and connecting with resources for support on or off-campus
• Discussing academic options, taking a Medical Leave of Absence (MLOA), and/or assistance with communicating with faculty/Dean’s office
• Connecting with the University Counseling Center (UCC) Drop-in care coordination meetings are not therapy or counseling, but we can help you get connected to counseling on or off-campus!

Every Thursday, beginning September 8
2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. 
Peabody Administration Building Heritage Room 218B

Open to all Peabody students
