The campus is currently closed to those students who have not received approval to live in the residential halls. If you are still in Santa Fe and need access to WiFi for your classes, you must email christine.guevara(at)sjc.edu to seek approval before coming to campus. We will assess the need and assign students a specific time and location before classes begin.

For those students who live off campus but are continuing to do assigned work-study assignments, please connect with your supervisor to determine if it is necessary for you to come to campus. Supervisors will alert public safety of your need to be on campus.

While most students are away from campus, all therapists will be following the recommendations of the New Mexico Department of Health by practicing social distancing and providing sessions through phone communication. Staff will not be onsite in the Counseling Center.

Students who have been attending therapy sessions, and have an interest in scheduling continuing support sessions, are encouraged to email their current therapist with their availability. Please indicate in the email the specific time zone in which you are currently living, so that the time can be quickly coordinated.

Dr. Beamer has offered to keep all appointments as phone sessions or to schedule new appointments by phone as needed for those clients he is currently seeing. He is able to send many prescriptions electronically or can mail prescriptions that are for a controlled substance. In some cases, he may have to speak with the local pharmacist to verbally approve prescriptions, especially for clients who are out of New Mexico. Dr. Beamer is also available to speak with primary care physicians or local psychiatrists if they have any questions about treatment while in Santa Fe. This will require a written consent and should be coordinated with Dr. Beamer. Please email Dr. Beamer at drjbeamer(at)gmail.com if there are additional questions.

Students who feel the need but have never seen one of our on-campus therapists, should also feel free to reach out to schedule a support session. However, in these situations, as the student does not have a therapeutic history with us, these sessions will be limited, with an emphasis on a referral to your local resources, if needed.

The remote sessions cannot substitute for urgent care or address a serious emergent mental health need. If you feel that your need is urgent, or an emergency, please contact your local emergency room, mental health crisis clinic, or your primary care provider where you are currently located.

• Suicide and Crisis Hotline | available 24 hours: 888-920-6333
• Solace Crisis Treatment Center | 505-988-1951
• Sexual violence and other trauma | available 24 hours: 800-721-7273

We know this is a difficult and stressful time.  Creating a new routine and staying (virtually) connect with other swill be important. Set up group video study sessions, facetime friends, or play an online video game together. Do not isolate.
