Resources for students
You may be here because you know someone who has struggled with stress or emotional problems, or you may have struggled yourself. It is not easy to know who to talk to or where to go for help. We want you to know that you are not alone. Be kind and patient with yourself, reach out to supportive friends and family, and explore the resources on our website to learn about how to strengthen your emotional health and resilience and connect with other students like you.
