Georgia Tech now has a single point of entry through which students will access mental health resources and services on campus and in the community. Located on the first floor of the Smithgall Student Services (Flag) Building, CARE is the primary resource for mental health support at Georgia Tech. Students seeking assistance from the Counseling Center or Stamps Psychiatry need to visit CARE first for a primary assessment and referral to on and off campus mental health and well-being resources.
We realize that with so many great mental health and well-being resources on campus, it can be confusing to know when to go. It’s important that students are seen quickly and that they have access to all that Georgia Tech has to offer.
Appointments are not available, only walk-in service is offered during office hours of Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 8:00AM - 4:00PM (office is open until 5:00PM) and Tuesday from 9:00AM - 5:00PM. The Center is located on the first floor of the Smithgall Student Services (Flag) Building, off of the main atrium. For more information, call 404-894-3498.
