Dear Students,

As we wrap up this semester and the winter break approaches, we want to remind you that your well-being remains a top priority. While we often use this time to plan and prepare for 2025, we also have opportunities to focus on self-care.

Mental Health Services

UTA students have FREE 24/7 access to care services with TimelyCare, a virtual mental health space specifically made for college students. No insurance is required, and access is 365 days from anywhere in the U.S. Visit www.timelycare.com/UTA and enter your UTA email address to get started. If you need accommodations to participate, please contact timelycare@uta.edu.

In addition, students in crisis can call the MAVS TALK 24-hour crisis line to speak with a counselor. This resource is also available 24/7 by calling 817-272-TALK (8255). For life-threatening emergencies, please call UTA Police at 817-272-3003 or 911 if you are off campus. We encourage you to put the UTA Police number in your phone as a contact.

Basic Needs

Did you know that the Maverick Pantry supports pocket pantries around campus? They are available to provide temporary relief to UTA students who need non-perishable food and/or toiletries. Locations include the Leadership Center in the University Center, the Student Money Management Center, and the Heights on Pecan.

In addition, the Tarrant Area Food Bank (TAFB) can assist you in finding food pantries. Simply put in your physical address, and it will locate the nearest food pantries around you. Some locations also have rent and utility assistance, clothing, and other services. Find a food pantry in the North Texas area with TAFB.

Physical Health and Recreation

Campus Recreation at the Maverick Activities Center is open during the winter break and FREE to UTA students. You can find winter hours here.

Your health and well-being remain important to us, and we are here when you need assistance.

Wishing you a winter break focused on rest, balance, and gratitude.
