April is Stress Awareness Month. Eden sits down with Dr. Parrillo, Director for GW's Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), and Sherry Leung, Assistant Director for GW's Student Support, to highlight student mental health resources.
Dr. Parillo tells us what stress even is, more about CAPS available services, and what to do if you feel nervous (or think you don't have time) to ask for help. Sherry helps bridge the gap between CAPS and Student Support, shares trends she has noticed among student mental health, and celebrates how all of these services align with GW's mission as a university.
CAPS offers safe, non-judgmental, and confidential counseling. No appointments are needed! Counseling support is always available by calling 202-994-5300. Student Support can also connect students to resources to help develop plans of action to meet goals, and navigate challenging circumstances. To get started, you can call 202-994-6555, reach Student Support at gwcares@gwu.edu, or submit a CARE referral.
