Plan for disappointment, failure and big feelings

Navigating life as a college student comes with its share of challenges, and it’s important to have a plan for how you’ll manage your mental health if you find yourself facing stress, anxiety, disappointment or other intense emotions.

To help you be prepared, UHCS has put together a planning worksheet to keep track of your stressors, signs and symptoms, management strategies and contacts.  

Student Mental Health Fund

Should you find yourself in need of mental health care at any point, the Student Mental Health Fund is available to help offset the costs of your care.

Undergraduate, graduate and professional students with financial need can apply through MyHealthConnect for up to $500 per semester. These funds must be used for financial costs associated with receiving mental health care, including psychiatric medication or psychological testing and assessment. Expenses may include individual or group counseling, inpatient or residential treatment, transportation costs, co-pays and other out-of-pocket expenses.

Learn more about the Student Mental Health fund and how to apply on the UHCS website.
