CAPS Let's Talk Program Expanding Services

08/27/19

CAPS plans to continue a new service that was piloted during the spring 2019 semester.  “Let’s Talk” is a drop-in service that offers informal, confidential consultations with a CAPS counselor at various locations around campus.  We plan to expand the program from 3 sites to 5 sites (listed below) for fall 2019. Let’s Talk is open to all IC students.

• School of Health Sciences and Human Performance
• School of Music
• Roy H. Park School of Communications
• Department of Theatre Arts
• Department of Writing
• Office of Religious and Spiritual Life
• Office of State Grants

Let’s Talk is informal and not intended to be a substitute for formal counseling and doesn’t constitute mental health treatment.  However, counselors can listen to specific problems, help explore solutions, and introduce you to what it’s like to speak to a member of our staff. Speaking with a Let’s Talk counselor can help provide insight, support, and information about other resources.  Let’s Talk at Ithaca College is based on the Let’s Talk Program at Cornell University.

• No appointment is necessary, so you can drop in during the times identified in the schedule.
• Offered first-come, first-served
• Minimal paperwork
• FREE for ALL Ithaca College Students;  Confidential

Let’s Talk is the best fit for the following people:

• Students who are not sure about counseling and wonder what it’s like to talk with a counselor
• Students who are not interested in ongoing counseling but would like the perspective of a counselor.
• Students who have a specific problem and would like someone with whom to talk it through.
• Students who have a concern about a friend and want some ideas about what to do.
