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.

You can also fill out this form and a CIS team member will respond to your request within two business days. You can also find our individual campus contacts below. Feel free to call or email us.

While CIS hours are Monday through Friday 8:00 am - 4:00 pm, we work with students to make appointments that work for them. We offer appointments on evenings and Saturdays as needed and can meet in-person, over the phone, or virtually.
