Presentation Requests

The Student Counseling Center’s primary function is to provide individual therapy services to currently enrolled A&M – San Antonio students. However, our staff can provide presentations and programming support for faculty, staff, and students based on availability.

We request (6) weeks or more before the event/presentation.

Mental Health Ally Project

The Mental Health Ally project is a Texas A&M San Antonio program to facilitate conversations about mental health with college students. Increasing mental health awareness on campus can ensure that students can become knowledgeable of the resources to meet their needs, support their continued development while enrolled, and create an environment where students feel confident to discuss their mental health concerns together. The goal is to empower our students to continue the conversation about mental health in their classes and organizations.

How can I be a Mental Health Ally?


	Active Minds is a student club that raises awareness and educates students about mental health. We aim to create a safe space where students are valued and able to share their thoughts with others. Active Minds is not counseling or group therapy, and we recommend all students in crisis seek help from the Student Counseling Center.


	Mental Health First Aid is a skills-based training course that teaches participants about mental health and substance-use issues. It covers topics like depression, anxiety, and trauma, as well as teaching skills and interventions needed in a variety of situations. Join a day-long training hosted by the Department of Counseling, Health, and Kinesiology! To inquire about Mental Health First Aid Training, please contact Dr. Stephen Lenz at slenz@tamusa.edu.
