The support is provided by Telus Health, a third-party company developed for college student mental health that now provides a variety of telehealth services to hundreds of universities across the U.S.
Students merely log in using their Pitt State credentials for 24/7 access to master’s level counselors. They may choose chat, phone, or video options, and it’s completely private.
Students still may request in-person counseling with an on-campus therapist through the Community Health Center of Southeast Kansas at the Bryant Student Health Center.
“The health center provides counseling during the hours it is open, but we realize that our students’ needs don’t always fall during that time,” said Deatrea Rose, associate vice president of Inclusion & Belonging.
The service also provides students with a more diverse pool of therapists from which to choose. It is available in five languages – English, Spanish, French, Mandarin, and Cantonese – on demand, and 150 additional languages by appointment.
Soon, students will begin seeing promotional materials in high-traffic areas across campus that will include a QR code. They may scan it to download the Telus Health app to iPhones or Android devices and begin requesting services.
