We know not everyone needs clinical counseling services when they're experiencing a tough time, but sometimes a little extra boost of support during a particularly hard week or even semester can still be helpful when managing stress.  Retriever Integrated Health provides free self-help and after-hours crisis resources to allow students to access help at whatever level they need.

Togetherall is a free online peer-to-peer community exclusively for college students, and offers a safe and anonymous place to get support with your mental health 24/7.  Togetherall is monitored by licensed clinicians and is a safe place online to get things off your chest, have conversations, express yourself creatively and learn how to manage your mental health. Within the Togetherall platform, members are anonymous, so no one will know you’re using it unless you tell them. Most members report feeling better and more able to cope as a result of using Togetherall.

WellTrack Boost is designed to help students understand and manage their mental health. WellTrack offers self-paced courses focused on learning coping skills to manage concerns such as Depression, Anxiety and Stress.  WellTrack also offers guided meditations, a journaling experience, and a mood tracker.  The app or web-based service can be used on its own or in conjunction with counseling services, either at RIH or in the community.

WellTrack Connectis a search tool for students who are looking for a counseling provider in the community.  Students can search by location, types of service, insurance, and preferred counselor traits.  WellTrack Connect highlights counselors who have a specific area of expertise in working with college students.

Finally, Retriever Integrated Health provides after-hours crisis support by mental health professionals via Protocall.  If a student is experiencing an immediate but non-life-threatening mental health crisis, they can call RIH at (410) 455-2542 and follow the prompts to be connected with a mental health provider.  If a student is experiencing a life-threatening emergency, they should call Campus Police (410) 455-5555 or, if off-campus, 911.

It's normal to feel overwhelmed, lonely, or anxious from time to time, especially during college, and it's ok to reach out for help if you need it!

Hey CyberDawgs!

Tonight we are meeting once again from 7:15PM to 8:15PM in ILSB 118!

For those of you who attended CDE over the weekend, congratulations on successfully completing a shift as a blue teamer. We hope you had lots of fun. CDE is a beginner competition and, most importantly, a learning experience so be sure to attend tonight's meeting for our post-competition topic: How to Lose CDE. We'll be bringing in some of the team leads for an extended debrief to go over all the areas where our beloved blue teamers have room to improve.

The meetings are hosted virtually if you can't make it in-person: https://umbc.webex.com/meet/CyberDawgs. Furthermore, we will be sharing meeting recordings and slides.

As a reminder: submissions to the CyberPaws CTF Bot for the previous week's challenge will be closed at the beginning of the meeting. If you would like to DM a board member to check if you got the correct flag afterwards, feel free to do so. We will be doing a walkthrough of the challenge at the beginning of the meeting, though :p

Respectfully,

Izzy
