Mental Health Resources
We all struggle with our mental health from time to time, which can manifest in many ways, including exhaustion, anxiety, or just feeling sad. It’s essential to develop healthy habits and practices that we can draw on when we need them, but it's also okay to ask for help.
The Columbia resources on this page are here for you any time you need support. If you have any questions or suggestions for additions, please reach out to [email protected].
