Racism and racial trauma are real and exist presently in our country. The murder of Breonna Taylor is an example of this ongoing, systemic oppression. To our students, staff, and faculty of color, we see you, we hear you, and we value you. Black Lives Matter.

We acknowledge that we are a mental health resource that is working to become anti-racist and still have much work to do in dismantling our own racism. 

For students, please connect with us for resources related to racial trauma and support. 

Changes to UKCC services:

The UKCC hopes to reduce the transmission of the coronavirus by modifying most services offered. Individual, couples and group therapy, and case management appointments are being conducted via secure Zoom or phone to students who are currently in the state of Kentucky.  If you are not in the state of Kentucky, we can talk by phone to connect you with resources in your local area. 

If you have scheduled an appointment with our office or reached out to us, please watch your email and have phones ready to accept voicemail messages from UKCC. We may return your call from a blocked or unknown number. If you are in crisis, please call our office (859) 257-8701 or use the crisis services listed below. 

Non-crisis questions may be e-mailed to UKCounselingCenter@uky.edu

UKCC clinicians do not provide letters for Emotional Support Animals (ESAs).
