<i>Emotional Support Animals and Medical Withdrawal Support Letters</i>, are now offering counseling services in our satellite clinic on the UH Sugar Land campus (Tuesday – Thursdays from 2pm -5pm), and have added a new Food for Thought workshop on
<i>Coping with Racial Trauma</i>. Please see the links below and share this message with your faculty/staff.
