Mental Help for Engineering Students

I am feeling…fine?

Mental health matters! As Lisa Olivera said, “Just because no one else can heal or do your inner work for you doesn’t mean you can, should or need to do it alone.” Engineering students struggling with depression, anxiety, troubling thoughts or just feeling overwhelmed have free and convenient resources to help:

Reserve the Breakroom

The Breakroom (B-226H) is a private space for students to take care of personal mental health needs—recharge, relax, and check in with yourself. You can use this private, quite space to talk with a trusted counselor virtually, practice self-care, pray, meditate, or just let your emotions out. Take advantage of privacy, mood lighting, USB and laptop charging, relaxing activities and emotional health tools. This isn't a place to study or socialize, but a space where you can be alone to take care of your mental health needs. It is open from 9 am – 5 pm on normal business days. Please reserve a 50-minute session at our Picktime site. Questions? Drop us a line.
