Expanded Urgent Care Hours
To the editors:
I want to clarify some misrepresentations about UHS in the article "Ordinary People."
The Mental Health Service continues to work hard to improve access for students to the Service and to improve communication with the deans, proctors and tutors in the University. There are two important themes in Nguyen's article with which I whole-heartedly agree.
First, ordinary people get depressed and sometimes make suicide attempts. Open lines of communication amongst deans, mental health professionals and tutors and proctors are important ways to recognize problems and help people access care.
