If we can be a guiding light, so to speak, to help students navigate this chapter, then—I mean—that’s huge.

我们为所有在博彩平台注册的学生提供免费的心理健康咨询。 我们还在校外提供预约咨询服务，并提供远程医疗服务。 Our goal is to meet students where they’re at.

我们主要提供个人一对一的咨询服务。 这是机密。 我们希望为学生建立一些支持小组。 我们的目标是扩大我们现有的服务。 So right now, it’s individual, one-on-one counseling. 如果需要，我们可以提供参考，当然，我们为那些可能不太舒服来博彩平台或有交通问题的学生提供远程医疗。

如果我们发现学生需要更密集的服务，我们确实会与地区机构建立合作关系。 例如，Frontier Health非常了解我们的学生，并实际上致力于帮助他们获得一些免费服务。

我们有一个网页，你可以打电话给我们的办公室，给我们发电子邮件，或者只是路过。 我们确实有学生来上课。 We’re housed on the 早场竞选集会 campus in the General Studies building.

You can just reach out, and I’m happy to coordinate and meet you on your campus. I mean, you’re taking classes there for a reason—it must be convenient. 所以如果我来找你能让事情变得容易些，我一定会去尝试。 If for some reason that can’t work out, then hopefully telehealth might be a viable option.

我们在各种不同的问题上与学生合作。 It may be test anxiety, it may be generalized anxiety disorder—there’s a spectrum of all kinds of different issues that students come in with. Ideally, what we want to offer is at least a safe place to explore thoughts and feelings and know that they won’t be judged.

We’re here to listen. We’re here to navigate that with you. So whether it’s test anxiety, relationship issues, depression—we’ll sit, we’ll listen, and we’ll try to map out what’s going to be successful and healthy for that student.

我想说，第一个：988。 988 is the national crisis line, and if you call it, it will divert to a local crisis center here in East Tennessee—maybe in Johnson City or 金斯波特. 我认为这是最快的方法。 Of course, 911 is always an option, and they’ll get the appropriate resources to you.

从我开始上课的那一刻起，直到春季学期结束，很多学生都毕业了，我都跟着他们。 And I mean—that’s a huge accomplishment for them. That’s success. That’s growth. 他们能够找到能量，找到继续前进的勇气，这样他们就能达到终点并毕业。
