Emory Helpline

We at the Helpline miss providing a student-run phone line to our Emory community. We are still invested in making sure Emory students have access to and are aware of mental health resources. Recently, Emory has contracted TimelyMD which provides a host of new resources to students residing anywhere in the world. Click on these images to learn more. For further information or to use TimelyMD as a resource go to www.timely.md/faq/emory/

Music acts as a medium for processing emotions, and as a calming agent for anxiety. Sometimes it just makes us happy! Here is a list of some of our favorites to help us get in a good mood!

We (Helpline Volunteers) love using grounding techniques to help ourselves and others. While they aren’t perfect for every situation, grounding techniques can help center you when things feel out of control. They can help bring your focus back to the present when your mind is racing. See the images to learn how to use the 54321 exercise, physical tricks, and a shifting focus exercise. We hope you find them useful and that you can add them to your mental health toolkit. As... always, if you are looking for mental health support, Emory’s Counseling and Psychological Services remains open and can be reached by calling (404) 727-7450. For more immediate or crisis support, you can reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 24 hours a day at 1-800-273-8255 or text HOME to 741741. If you are concerned about your wellbeing or that of another Emory student, you can reach Student Intervention Services 24 hours a day at (404) 430-1120. See more

Dear Emory Community, The primary purpose of the Helpline is to provide confidential peer support to the members of the greater Emory University community. As a consequence of the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, we had to make the difficult decision to close the Emory Helpline for the Fall 2020 semester. Resources through CAPS and nationally are still available. CAPS remains open and is currently offering telehealth services via phone and HIPAA-compliant Zoom to enrolled Emo...ry students. CAPS continues to offer core functions of crisis response, consultation, individual therapy, support/discussion groups, therapy groups, and online workshops. CAPS is also posting wellness tips on social media (@emorycaps on Instagram and Facebook). There’s also the following national resources (for a more extensive list, please visit counseling.emory.edu): National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1 (800) 273-8255, Crisis Text Line: free, 24/7 - text HOME to 741741 or text STEVE to 741741 (to reach a person of color) crisistextline.org, Trevor Lifeline (LGBTQ+): 1 (866) 488-7386 There is more!
