Our Mental Health Peer Services

Our MHPs pick outreach groups and focus programming around the needs of that group. They create informative social media posts, events, and collaborate with other campus departments to bring mental health awareness to these student populations.
Feeling stressed by life? Just want to practice good self-care? Stop by to try out one of our three FREE massage chairs or egg chair to relax on campus.

Peers are also trained for drop-in peer counseling sessions to support students, provide a safe space, and connect students to resources when needed. Come on in to chat or just relax!
Learn about different mental health topics by attending one of our workshops held throughout the quarter. Reach out to collaborate or have us present at your organization's event.
ADHD support services are now expanding to become Neurodiversity Support Services. Having trouble concentrating, setting goals to complete your tasks, or just need a safe and affirming space with another person present to finish your work? Book a one-on-one session with an MHP for body doubling, accountability and goal-setting, or daily planning/executive functioning support services!

Chumash Land Acknowledgement 

The MHP team would like to acknowledge the Chumash people, who are the traditional custodians of this land on which our offices are located. We pay our respects to the Chumash elders, past, present, and future who call this place, Anisq’oyo, the land that Isla Vista sits upon, their home. We are proud to continue their tradition of coming together and growing as a community. We thank the Chumash community for their stewardship and support, and we look forward to strengthening our ties as we continue our relationship of mutual respect and understanding.
