A key part of positive emotions is optimism, and Georgetown has many mental health services that help students maintain their optimism and positive emotions, and combat different mental health issues. I believe that it is important for all Georgetown students to be aware of these services, so I have listed some of them below.
Student Health Services, directed by Professor Day, offers free, confidential services to students through licensed health professionals. They specialize in issues of sexual assault, alcohol and drug usage, pregnancy, sexual health, nutrition, body image, and others that are relevant to college students. Their number is 202-687-0100
CAPS (Counseling and Psychiatric Service) is meant to help Georgetown students with everything from academic pressures to major life events that can cause distress. They provide unbiased professionals to help with these issues, and their number is 202-687-6985.
