Let's TeleTalk (New Hours)
What Is Let’s TeleTalk? Let’s TeleTalk provides 20 minute informal mental health consultations on a first-come, first served basis. It’s free and confidential.
How is Let’s TeleTalk different from counseling at the Counseling Center?
Let’s TeleTalk is not formal counseling: it is a virtual video service where students can have an informal 20 minute consultation with a counselor.
Who should engage in Let’s Teletalk?
This service is open to all Bradley undergraduate and graduate students. Let's TeleTalk is the best fit for the following people:
* Students who are not interested in ongoing counseling but would like the perspective of a counselor.
* Students who are not sure about counseling and wonder what it's like to talk with a counselor.
* Students who have a specific minor problem and would like someone with whom to talk it through.
* Students who have a concern about a friend and want some thoughts about what to do.
When is this available?
February 25, 2021 - April 29, 2021
Let’s TeleTalk consultations are available on Thursdays from 4-5pm. Please review the flyer for more details. Email epanich@fsmail.bradley.edu to reserve your spot!
