places they can go for help.” .
Joel Marcovitch, Hillers director, said
he hopes the fair will encourage students
who may be too shy to seek out help find
what they need to improve their mental
and emotional health.
“I think it will help that students don’t
have to walk into a building or pick up a
telephone," Marcovitch said. “Everyone's
going to be at the fair to help and take up
information, it’s going to really informal."
Students can expect more than just
information pamphlets from these organi
zations.
“You’re going to meet real therapists
who can actually help you,” Marcovitch
said.
Beker said “Breaking the Silence" is an
event to get these student services out in
the open so students know they have
resources they can turn to when they
need help academically or psychologi
cally.
“We want to talk about issues that
people don't normally talk about,” Beker
said. “People don't often talk about issues
like suicide they’re ashamed or scared,
but that shouldn’t be the way it is.”
Jennifer Miracle, director of the LOBT
Resource Center, said spreading aware
ness about issues that are often not talk
ed about, such as sexuality, is one of the
major reasons the LGBT Resource Center
is participating in “Breaking the Silence."
"What I’ve found is that people are not
comfortable talking about sexual orienta
tion or sexual identity,” she said. “Rather
than say something that might embarrass
or offend someone, people choose to not
say anything at all.”
Miracle said the LGBT Resource cen
ter is a space where people of all sexuali
ties can go and feel comfortable discuss
ing these issues. Opened in 2005, the cen
ter is a unit within the Department of
International Affairs in Memorial Hall. It
offers various educational services and
programs throughout the year, including
weekly discussions and sexual health
resources.

The center is not limited to LGBT stu
dents, however, and Miracle said the cen
ter has a large group of "straight allies”
that attend the weekly discussions and
other educational programs. Miracle said
she hopes the center’s involvement in
“Breaking the Silence” will help spread
the word that the LGBT Resource Center
exists and is open to all students.
The University’s Counseling and
Psychiatric Services is also participating
in the event. Kelly Case-Simonson, assis
tant director of consultation and outreach
at CAPS, said CAPS like the LGBT
Resource Center wants to raise aware
ness about the services it offers students.
“We want to put a human face on
things,” she said. "A lot of times students
are nervous about coming to counseling,
and we want to show that we’re just nor
mal, regular people that are here to help,”
she said.
Students who pay their health center
fees can receive CAPS services at a dis
counted price, Case-Simonson said. CAPS
offers individual and couples counseling
as well as psychiatric and assessment ser
vices, such as assessing for ADHD.
Case-Simonson said about 3,200 stu
dents use CAPS per year. She said need
ing counseling at some point is not
uncommon for college students.
“College is a time of transition peo
ple are figuring out who they are and
what’s important to them,” she said.
“There are anxiety, depression and rela
tionship issues on our campus, and it's
helpful for people to know what services
are available so they don’t have to feel so
alone.”
"Breaking the Silence" will be on the
Tate Center's west lawn today from 11
a.m. to 2 p.m.
During the event, Hillel will also orga
nize what it hopes to be the world’s larg
est game of broken telephone. To break
the world record, it will need more than
1,000 people to play the game, which
begins at noon.
