Psychological Impact of Recent News
In light of the current sociopolitical discourse that marginalizes people of color and immigrants, FAU Counseling and Psychological Services stands with our richly diverse student body during this time of pain and divisiveness. We acknowledge the range of emotions that can emerge as these dialogues unfold in the media and in our communities. We strive to make our center a welcoming and safe place for domestic and international students from all backgrounds. We invite you to call us at 561-297-3540 to make an appointment to speak to a counselor should you feel distressed and in need of support. We also have crisis support available by phone when our office is closed. This can be accessed by calling our after-hours crisis line at 561-297-3540 and following the prompts.
