Unsung Heroes: Meet some of the people who help make UTRGV run
Leah Ellis, supervising clinical therapist within the UTRGV Counseling Department on the Brownsville campus, provides mental health services to all UTRGV students. To promote the importance of mental health, group and individual therapy sessions are available to students, as well as campus presentations on various topics. Being able to train and work alongside interns is especially important to Ellis, with suicide prevention being a key factor in her work. Being able to connect with students and make them feel supported is one of her favorite aspects of the job, she said.
