Any graduate student experiencing distress can reach out to the Office of Graduate Affairs. Although staff at this office are not confidential, they are not directly connected with any academic school and so can provide another layer of privacy from your particular department or program. Graduate Affairs staff can also help to find the appropriate person with whom you can work with, depending on the situation. 

If you or one of your peers is experiencing distress, please fill out an I Care Form. This is not an emergency form (it may take 24 hours for a response), but members of the Care Team will take appropriate action to support the student.
