Did you know an end-of-the year Satisfaction Survey of Counseling Center clients showed friends are one of the biggest promoters and sources of therapy referrals? 

You can’t change the way someone is feeling, but you can help by letting them know that:  

  • their well-being is important to you, 
  • their problems don’t define them, and 
  • that many people benefit from talking with a therapist. 

If you are concerned someone you know at MSU Denver may need mental health support, here's how you can help:

  1. Check in with them and express concern. Let them know you have noticed they might be struggling.
  2. Ask direct questions about how they are doing and be an active listener.
  3. Be encouraging and avoid dismissive or judgmental language. 
  4. Offer empathy and emotional support. 
  5. Encourage them to seek professional help. 

Because the Counseling Center is funded through your student fees, all MSU Denver students qualify for mental health counseling at no additional charge. We offer crisis and walk-in appointments, screening intakes, individual counseling and group counseling.  

  • Encourage them to look for information on our website.  
  • Tell them they can set up an appointment by phone, online or by walking in. 
  • Offer to go with to the Counseling Center on the 6th floor of Tivoli and wait for them while they set up an appointment. 

For mental health support, reach out to the MSU Denver Counseling Center. Schedule online for an Initial Screening online. The password is mentalhealth.  

You can also call (303) 615-9988 for an appointment or simply walk into our office on the 6th floor of Tivoli.  

We are here for you!
