Mental Health Resources

Don’t wait to seek out mental health support. There are resources available on and off campus, whether you’re in crisis or just need to talk. 

If in a crisis:

If you or a loved one is in immediate danger, calling 911 and talking with police may be necessary.

It is important to notify the operator that it is a psychiatric emergency and ask for police officers trained in crisis intervention or trained to assist people experiencing a psychiatric emergency.

If you or a loved one is thinking about suicide, call or text the Suicide Prevention Hotline at  988  for 24/7 access to free and confidential mental health support.

NMSU Campus

If you are interested in receiving counseling at AHWC, you can come to the center (at the corner of Breland Dr. and Stewart St.) and meet with an on-call counselor. Counselors are available to meet with walk-in clients Monday through Friday, 8:00-11:30am and 1:00-4:30pm. You can also set up an appointment with a counselor.

Mental Health Toolkit

Trying to manage the demands of attending college can be difficult, and emotionally challenging, but the possibility to enjoy the experience and grow from it remains.

If you are experiencing symptons like anxiety, depression, and stress, know that help is available to you.

Finding mental balance and success in college is a team effort. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, burnout, or any other mental health challenge, you are not alone.

Our objective is to provide students with accessible information to support their mental health journey, as well as overall collegiate experiences. 

During the 2020–2021 school year, more than 60% of college students met the criteria for at least one mental health problem, according to the Healthy Minds Study, which collects data from 373 campuses nationwide (Journal of Affective Disorders, 2022).
