"Let's Talk" is a free and confidential service available to all BGSU students.Students can meet for a brief, informal, 15-minute consultation with BGSU Counseling Center staff. They can listen to specific problems, help explore solutions and introduce you to what it’s like to speak with a member of the staff.Please note: "Let's Talk" does not take the place of therapy, and consultations are not appropriate for urgent concerns or mental health emergencies. During the consultation, BGSU clinicians will listen to your concerns and offer support, information and resources.Learn more about "Let's Talk">>__________________________________________________________ As the BGSU Counseling Center, we welcome all students and aspire to respect cultural, individual and role differences.
