Grad school is HARD. & it was hard before the pandemic. Many students are struggling more than normal. Many institutions are not providing students the support they need ...whether that be #disability resources, #diversity resources and support, or general #mentalhealth access.

US Suicide Prevention Hotline: 800-273-8255

Takeaways from @KarenTang_ and I in this episode:
Taking care of yourself is an investment in you. You deserve to feel well. Reach out to those who love you for support. You are not alone. You are strong. We can and will all get through this together.
