Online Mental Health Resources
The Student Counseling Center provides the following links for our JU community to use to gather information and resources about a variety of common concerns that college students face. While we aim to collect resources that are credible and evidence-based, we do not assume responsibility for the information provided on these sites. These resources are not intended as a substitute for counseling, but may help guide you in your understanding of common life experiences and learning about tools to address challenges. If you have questions about any of these topics, please contact the SCC or bring the material to your next session with your counselor.
