Up to 44% of college students report having symptoms of depression and anxiety. Lone Star College students who are Texas residents and are currently enrolled have access to Communities in Schools 24/7 Emotional Support Line. This phone line will provide students with emotional support and resources available in their respective service area. Call (844) 844-4007 for support. Emotional support is just a phone call away.
