Same Day Solutions: Quick Support Before the Break
Need to talk before heading home for the holidays? Jacksonville State University Counseling Services is offering Same Day Solutions—a 30-minute, single-session counseling appointment designed to help you manage stress, make decisions, and find practical strategies for whatever’s on your mind. These solution-focused sessions are perfect for students who want immediate support without starting ongoing counseling. Appointments are limited and available before the holiday break—schedule your Same Day Solution session today to head into the season with greater balance and peace of mind.
Available December 1-5, and 8-9
If you complete the form or leave a voicemail, please know that someone will contact you during business hours M-F to confirm an appointment.
December's Mental Health Moment
The holiday season can bring joy, connection, and a welcome break—but it can also create stress, pressure, or emotional overwhelm. Changes in routine, family dynamics, financial concerns, and academic fatigue can all impact your well-being. Remember to pace yourself, set healthy boundaries, and create time for rest and activities that replenish your energy. Small practices—like deep breathing, getting outside for fresh air, connecting with supportive people, or limiting overwhelming commitments—can make a big difference. If the holidays feel difficult this year, know that you’re not alone. Jacksonville State University Counseling Services has created a Holiday Support Kit to help! Happy Holidays from all of us in Counseling Services!
