Walk-ins for Urgent Counseling

Students in need of mental health support or experiencing thoughts of suicide can walk in to USC Student Health (at either Engemann or Eric Cohen Student Health Centers, during daytime hours) or connect to services through the 24/7 phone line after closing (213-740-9355/WELL). If a student is in urgent distress we want them to come in. Learn more about resources that can help our community as many seek help recovering from recent events.

Opioids & Naloxone / Drug Take Back Day on Dec. 5

On average, 130 Americans die every day from an opioid overdose. Drugs in this category include the prescription medications oxycodone, percocet, vicodin, morphine, fentanyl, among others, as well as heroin. In addition to the direct effects of each substance, drugs shared for recreational use can be tainted or mixed with other substances to increase its effects, sometimes without a user’s knowledge. Naloxone (nasal spray Narcan) can reverse the effects of an accidental overdose.

Updated Program – Thriving Thursdays

NEW! USC Student Health is converting the Thriving Thursday drop-in sessions in TCC 222, noon to 1pm, to a facilitated session on grief and loss for the rest of the semester. All USC students are welcome to come by; no appointment is needed.

Campus Climate Report: 2019 AAU Survey Results

Today (October 15, 2019) we are sharing the results of a national survey designed to better understand campus climate around sexual assault and sexual misconduct at universities across the country. The full release of data can be found on the AAU Campus Climate Survey Data website; the condensed findings are summarized in the Data Spotlight. The survey results clearly show the need for ongoing work to strengthen the prevention and intervention efforts already underway, and to provide additional support for those impacted. Over the past years, the university has increased efforts in these areas. We value your input and will continue to work vigilantly to improve the climate on our campuses.

Flu season is here!
