Our Mental Health Peer Services
Our MHPs pick outreach groups and focus programming around the needs of that group. They tailor social media posts, celebrations, and collaborate with campus departments to bring mental health awareness to student populations.

Understanding unique challenges for student groups
Each student has unique life experiences that are informed by their stage in life and by the identities that they hold. Sometimes these experiences can challenge your well-being and self-confidence.
In this section we address the common struggles that students from different stages in school and different identities tell us they grapple with. We help you to recognize how your past experiences can inform how you tackle new challenges. And, we help you to gather the strengths of your communities to better manage any bumps in the road.

Chumash Land AcknowledgementThe 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. |
