Grad Resources, a graduate student
service of Campus Crusade for Christ
International, will begin providing
help this week through a national hot
line specifically designed for graduate
students in crisis situations.
The project is in conjunction with
National Graduate and Professional
Students Appreciation Week.
Nick Repak, executive director of
Grad Resources, said the hotline has
been developed over the past several
months after the recent suicide of a
Harvard graduate student and recent
studies revealing factors that create in
tense anxiety for graduate students.
Repak said the hotline is intended
to supplement the resources already
available to graduate students.
“It’s available; it’s free; and these
counselors are specifically trained to
work with graduate students," he
said.
Repak said the hotline provides an
alternative to students who are con
cerned about administrators gaining
knowledge of their personal and coun
seling needs.
In a press release from Grad Re
sources, Dr. Mary Francis Seeley, spe
cial consultant for the hotline and
chief certification examiner for the
American Association of Suicidology,
said a national hotline may be more
appealing for graduate students who
may be reluctant to contact on-cam
pus services for fear of exposure.
The crisis hotline is available 24
hours a day. Students may call anony
mously at any time andt
trained to work with |
will be ready to helpstudeml
port through local couitil
sources.
