Let's Talk Drop-In Program
What is Let's Talk?
Are you a UCSC student who is ...
- Thinking about a question or concern that would benefit from a brief consultation with a counselor?
- Experiencing racial trauma during these times?
- Curious about counseling and want to find out more about it?
- Concerned about a friend or family member and would like information or advice?
- Interested in a counselor’s perspective but hesitant to try out counseling?
If any of the above applies, CAPS has a program just for you! Let’s Talk is a drop-in service offering students a chance to stop by different locations around campus for a brief, confidential conversation with a professional counselor to receive consultation, support, advice, and/or referrals. Let’s Talk is held several afternoons a week (see schedule, below) during fall, winter, and spring quarters (except on holidays, winter and spring breaks, and finals weeks).
Let’s Talk consultations are
- Free
- Confidential and anonymous
- Drop in: No appointment necessary
Please call the CAPS main office at (831) 459-2628 if you need to talk with someone when Let's Talk is not available or if you are having a crisis. Let's Talk is not set up to handle crisis situations. Read more about our crisis services for information.
