Learn more about Black Mental Health Matters
Counseling and Psychological Services would like to thank and honor our campus partners in Multicultural Center for Academic Success (MCAS), Health Promotion, and Campus Life, who dedicated their time and resources to supporting our Black student community in promoting mental health! We are grateful to have these voices at the table to advocate for our Black students and the invested value in creating a community that cares about and prioritizes mental health.
Mental Health Support at RIT
Counseling and Psychological Services is aware that for many communities, there are barriers that exist related to accessing mental health services. We are committed to continuously working toward accessible, equitable, and inclusive services for our students.
Did you know that we have a counselor embedded at the Multicultural Center for Academic Success to support students? You can meet with a counselor in a space that is convenient and familiar to you. If you or a friend is struggling, we hope you reach out.
