Counselors are providing in-person and telehealth sessions (phone or Zoom). Students can also attend groups and wellness workshops.

Students can access urgent counseling (TalkNow) or 9 scheduled counseling sessions per year (August 1 to July 31). UAS counselors are only able to provide referral services to students outside of Alaska. Students residing outside of the state of Alaska are able to participate in workshops listed on the groups page.
