AMS is hosting a workshop on Mental Health and Neurodivergence next Friday, October 22, 1:55-2:45pm. During the workshop, someone from the Counseling Center will give a presentation on diagnoses and disorders that are common among graduate students. They’ll cover common symptoms, treatments, as well as if/how students with the diagnoses can be supported by the university, both within and the Student Health framework and in an academic context.

Our hope for this workshop is that everyone who attends has a chance to learn about different diagnoses and disorders. In particular, we hope each student leaves able to better understand whether they’re struggling in grad school because grad school is hard or whether they’re struggling because of a physiological situation making things harder (on top of grad school being hard), and that they have an idea of what to expect and where to start.
