The&nbsp; services offered are TalkNow, Schedule Counseling, Health Coaching, Peer Community, Self-Care Content, Psychiatry and Basic Needs Support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The services can be conducted through text, phone calls or video chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christopher Albert, director of the UTRGV Counseling Center, explains the function of TalkNow and Schedule Counseling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cTalkNow is on-demand emotional support,\u201dAlbert said. \u201cIt&#8217;s through text. It&#8217;s through phone or through video chat. It is 24\/7. So, not just Monday through Friday to 5 [p.m.], but also on the weekends in the evening.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>TimelyCare has numerous licensed counselors from Texas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Albert said if students were to leave the state, the Counseling Center would try to contact a licensed counselor from the state the students will reside at. However, if students were to move to Mexico or a different country, they would be unable to access the Schedule Counseling feature on the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The director explains a different service TimelyCare provides, which is Health Coaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cA student can connect with a certified health coach to learn about stress management, diet eating, healthy diet and eating, how to get good sleep, good sleep habits and so on,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Albert, the Peer Community feature in TimelyCare helps give students a sense of community and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The director added he encourages students who may need help with mental health and well being to download TimelyCare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is Celeste Cruz for Vaquero Radio.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TimelyCare is a free mobile application where UTRGV students can have access to 24\/7 mental health support.&nbsp; The<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37,"featured_media":7899,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[692],"tags":[730,571,789,194,726,803,26],"class_list":["post-7897","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health","tag-730","tag-mental-health","tag-mental-health-awareness","tag-spring","tag-spring-2025","tag-timelycare","tag-utrgv"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
