A Message from the Director | Frances Diaz, Psy.D.
Dear UCI Students and Community,
The UCI campus is a diverse and integrated community made up of students, faculty and staff from all over the United States and the world. The Counseling Center recognizes that the events unfolding in Ukraine may bring concern for those who may be in harms way. Additionally, we acknowledge that armed conflict, whether happening near or far, may have an effect on us all. This type of trauma can impact our mental health and well-being individually, and as a campus community.
The Counseling Center sends our support to all of those directly and indirectly affected, particularly those from Eastern Europe, those who have been impacted by war in the past, and those affiliated with the military.
We are here to support you during these difficult and trying times. Please contact us at 949-824-6457 and ask to speak to a crisis counselor or view our website to learn more about our services. If you are needing support after hours please call our phone number and select “option 2” to be connected to a mental health professional. If you are an employee please visit our Employee Assistance Program website or contact Faculty and Staff Support Services at 949-824-5208.
Statement of support from the American Psychological Association.
Frances Diaz, Psy.D. UCI Counseling Center Director
