Helping Students in Distress
The number of college students who are experiencing mental health issues has been a growing concern on campus and it is important for faculty and staff to recognize the signs of mental illness to help students properly and timely. International students may experience distress due to cultural differences and language barriers as well as managing coursework similar to domestic students.
At Rutgers, Counseling, ADAP and Psychiatric Services (CAPS) offers counseling services for Rutgers students on campus. You can advise students to make an appointment with CAPS counselors or direct them to drop in during “Let’s Talk” hours if they are not interested in on-going counseling or have a specific problem and would like to talk it through.
Let’s Talk
Students can have informal and confidential consultations with CAPS counselors during the drop-in hours at several locations across campus, including SEBS. Students do not need to make an appointment and do not need to be affiliated with one of the locations offering the service. For Chinese students, Rutgers Global-ISSS hosts a Let’s Talk session with a counselor who is fluent in Mandarin Chinese. For detailed time and location, please visit the Let’s Talk website.
