You deserve care, understanding, and support, don’t hesitate to reach out.
For any immediate danger or emergency, always call 9-1-1.
Campus Resources
If you’re looking for support on campus, there are many resources available to help you succeed and feel supported. Most colleges offer services like Counseling or Wellness Centers, Health Services, Academic Advising, and Title IX or Student Support offices. You can usually find these by visiting your school’s website and searching terms like “counseling services,” “student wellness,” “health center,” or “campus resources.”
If you’re not sure where to start, consider reaching out to a trusted faculty member, advisor, or student leader—they can often point you in the right direction. Many campuses also have peer support programs, cultural centers, and student organizations that provide community and guidance.
Seeking support is a strong and important step—don’t hesitate to explore the resources available to you.
