[Biostudent] Husky Helpline

[BIOLOGY]

As we jump into fall, I wanted to tell you about Husky Helpline.  Husky Helpline gives students same-day access to consultation with a therapist via phone or online chat.  Staff and academic personnel can also call Husky Helpline for consultation about a student.  The service operates 24/7, so people can call anytime. Depending on how many other calls they have, there will be a wait, but they will call back.  If you are thinking this sounds a lot like My SSP, that is because it is still the same service by the same people except they changed their name to Telus.  Now that the service is permanently funded on all three campuses, and to create easier access, we are calling it Husky Helpline.  The phone number (206-616-7777) is easier to remember but still directs to My SSP.  For those of you who already had the My SSP app downloaded, it still works for online chat and the branding will automatically change to Telus when the app updates.  Please share the information below with your networks.
Husky HelpLine

Huskies, we all have moments when things get hard, frustrating, or overwhelming and we need to talk to someone. Perhaps you just broke up with someone, got a bad grade on an exam, going through some relationship or family trouble and needing someone to talk to. You are never alone and always have someone to help.
