Emily El-Oqlah Let's Talk

SSWANA Let's Talk (South Asian, Southwest Asian, North African Students)

Welcome!

You've reached my WeJoinIn page to sign up for SSWANA Virtual Let's Talk consultations: zoom audio or video.
ZOOM ID: 238 691 1192
Virtual Let's Talk consultations will be released every week, so please check back if you're interested in a later date.

The CAPS Let's Talk Consultation program provides easy access to informal, brief (20min), consultation sessions with mental health professionals from UC Berkeley's Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS). Consultations are free and there is no paperwork to complete. Speaking with a therapist during Let’s Talk can help you access support, gain perspective, explore resources and options, and discuss how therapy might be helpful.

To access this service, simply fill out your name in an open drop-in slot and join me via zoom on that date/time. We have the option to do zoom video or zoom audio-only. If none of the times listed work for you, please visit our virtual Let's Talk website for more Let's Talk dates/times.

IMPORTANT:
-Please do not sign up for a Let's Talk consultation if you are experiencing a life threatening crisis. For urgent issues, crisis counseling is available Mondays-Fridays, 10am-5pm by calling CAPS and speaking with an urgent support counselor (510) 642-9494. If CAPS is closed, please call the CAPS after hours support line at 855-817-5667.
-Please cancel the consultation using the code sent to your email from WeJoinin if you’re no longer able to make it. Doing so will make the slot available to another student.
-Although Let’s Talk Consultations are with mental health professionals, they are not formal therapy sessions and do not constitute mental health treatment. If you would like to schedule a therapy appointment, please call the CAPS office at (510) 642-9494.

I'm looking forward to connecting with you.

Best,
