Whether you are new to UCSB or a returning student, you may find some of the services that we offer helpful to you during your time at UCSB. There are many opportunities for emotional growth at a university, but not everyone makes it through college without experiencing some challenges along the way. It is recommended that students seek help if these difficulties are interfering with their academic or personal well-being. Our mental health team works together with other providers to assist students in getting their emotional needs met by assessment, treatment, and linking to other campus and community providers/services.
