World Mental Health Day is Thursday (Oct. 10) and we want WVU students to know the resources our campus has to offer. Don’t wait to reach out to someone for help. If you’re struggling and need someone to talk with, you can reach out to the Carruth Center.
You can schedule a time to talk with a therapist. There are multiple ways students can talk with a counselor, including:
- Schedule an appointment online or by calling 304-293-4431.
- Use Talkspace, a free online therapy service that connects users to a dedicated therapist.
- Stop by one of Carruth’s Let’s Chat events and have a 20-minute conversation with a therapist.
Don’t forget about your support system! Lean on family and friends who can help you work through some of the items on your plate so you’re able to balance work and your personal life.
Our Carruth Center also has emergency services available.
- Our Urgent/Crisis clinic is available for students who are experiencing a psychological emergency or are in immediate need for a same-day intervention. Availability for same-day, in-person visits are Monday – Friday from 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
- If you find yourself in a mental health emergency, call us 24/7 at 304-293-4431 or dial the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988.
It is important always to have on-hand information and contact information for Crisis Resources.
