Let’s Talk is a service that provides easy access to free, informal, and confidential one-on-one consultation with a Counseling Services staff member. See our website for six additional Let’s Talk days/times offered throughout the week.

Let’s Talk is especially helpful for students who:


Have a specific concern and would like to consult with someone about it.
Would like on-the-spot consultation rather than ongoing counseling.
Would like to consult with a CS staff member about what actual therapy looks like.
Would like to meet with one of our CS identity-based specialists.
Have a concern about a friend or family member and would like some ideas about what to do.


 

How does Let’s Talk work?

Let’s Talk will be offered via Zoom and/or in satellite locations across campus. As a drop-in service, there is no need to schedule an appointment and no paperwork to be completed. Students are seen individually on a first-come, first-served basis at the times listed below. There may be a wait in the Zoom waiting room if the Let’s Talk staff member is meeting with another student. Please wait and we will be with you as soon as we can. Let’s Talk appointments are brief (usually between 15-30 minutes) and are meant to be used on an as-needed basis.

The Mental Health Art Show is an annual event where artists around UO come together and make art to normalize and start discussion around mental health. Each year, students from all around campus work to create art of all kinds (e.g., photography, painting, film, etc.), focused on a praticular. The theme for this year's show is: "Healing With Nature And Being In The Outdoors!"

All students are encouraged to participate, and are allowed to use previously made work so long as it fits the theme of the show. If you would like to participate, use the link below to sign up for submissions:

Submissions are open now until the May 4th, and the art you can be turned in either virtually or in-person, depending on your comfortability. We hope to see you there! 

This discussion-based presentation will provide psychoeducation on stress, the various types of self-care, and have an interactive activity of creating a “comfort plan,” for self-care through a multicultural feminist lens. Students will be encouraged to be reflective on their own experiences of stress and how they currently cope through discussion prompts as a means to build community support.
