Mental Health in graduate school is usually overlooked, but it’s important to pay attention to your body and mind and use self-care techniques to improve your well-being as you continue your grad school experience.
This page is dedicated to posting mental health resources, such as: self-care tips/activities, crisis hotlines, awareness research articles or blog posts, advice, etc.
