Today's Message

As midterm stress hits both students and faculty and staff members, please remember that the Buffalo State Counseling Center provides free, confidential services to all students. We are open Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., on the second floor of the Weigel Wellness Center and have extended-hours support, too:

• Students can call (716) 878-4436 or come in to make an appointment. First appointments are a simple 15- to 20-minute conversation about the student's needs and recommendations on where to start.
• Students in crisis can come in for an urgent care appointment. Time slots are first come, first served. The last urgent care time slot of the day is 3:45 p.m.
• Weekly skills include teaching workshops and support groups about mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, BIPOC support, LGBTQIA+ support, and other topics. See all our open groups on Bengal Connect.
• Extended hours (including nights and weekends) teletherapy available through BetterMynd; free when students register with their Buffalo State email address.
• 24/7 counselors available at the Bengal Support Line: (833) 823-0260 for crisis intervention or just support for loneliness, advice, feeling overwhelmed, etc.
• Faculty and staff members can call to consult about a student, (716) 878-4436, and/or submit a CARE Report through the Dean of Students website.
