Election Stress Resources

As we wind down the semester, the therapists at Student Health would like to acknowledge the difficult sociopolitical times that we have been in and the effects that this can have on our mental health.  

Since we are closed for clinical services over the break, we would like to highlight our  updated list of therapists in the community who provide low-cost or free therapy here that you can access while we are closed. The programs in bold do not have waitlists, and many are completely free.  We re-open for services at Student Health on January 13th.

In addition, we have connected with the following San Francisco based programs who have offered these resources: 

Immigrants Rising 

They have about 10 more spots to provide services to undocumented students in California through their Mental Health Connector. The students will be matched with a mental health volunteer who has experience working with the immigrant community as soon as today. 

They also have Wellness Support Groups  that will begin on January 20th. Students can fill out their Mental Health Contact Form to receive updates. 

SF LGBT Center 

They have free drop-ins for youth Monday-Thursday 10am-6pm (16-24 yrs old) 

This is their step-by-step guide on how to find a therapist with referral links (not just for LGBTQ+ youth)  

These are also additional resources for navigating this difficult time:
