Online Counseling Services Available for UConn-WTBY Students

Clinical case manager Claudia Pina, of the Waterbury Campus Mental Health Resource Center, will be available remotely to students, faculty, and staff while UConn transitions to an online platform for the remainder of the semester. All students have access to WebEx which will be the platform used for appointments.

We know this is a time of potential increased stress and many unknowns. It is natural to feel worried and unsure. If you feel you may benefit from supportive counseling or are looking for resources in the community, please contact Claudia Pina.

If you would like to set up an appointment with Claudia Pina, the best way to contact her is via email at Claudia.pina@uconn.edu. If you leave a confidential voicemail at 203-236-9817, she will do her best to get back to you by the end of the business day.

Please be aware that emergency protocol remains the same. If you are experiencing a clinical emergency, please dial 911 or proceed to your nearest emergency department. UConn Police are also available and will be on campus. The number to reach campus police is 860-486-4801.
