Let's Chat with MIT Health SMHCS

Wednesday, August 28th & Thursday, August 29th 
3pm-5pm 
To sign up for an appointment, simply fill out this form. 

Let’s Chat is a drop-in service that provides MIT undergraduate and graduate students with easy access to informal, free, confidential consultations with clinicians from MIT Health’s Student Mental Health & Counseling. Meetings are 20 minutes long and will take place over Zoom.

Let’s Chat is a good fit for:

  • Students who are not sure about the counseling process and want to know what it’s like to talk with a clinician or to learn about student mental health resources
  • Students who are not interested in ongoing counseling but would like the perspective of a clinician
  • Students who have a specific problem and would like to talk with someone about it; common concerns include stress, sadness, anxiety, difficulty adjusting to school, family issues, and relationship issues
  • Students who have a concern about a friend and would like advice on what to do

Let’s Chat isn’t formal counseling; if you are currently in distress or would like to connect with a clinician for mental health services, call Student Mental Health & Counseling at 617-253-2916 and ask to speak with a mental health clinician

Student Opportunities at the List Center

Every year, the MIT List Visual Arts Center begins the Fall semester with the Student Lending Art Program Exhibition. It’s a unique opportunity where students can enter a lottery for the chance to borrow artwork for their living spaces for the year.
