Resources for Student Mental Wellbeing

Navigating college life can, at times, be overwhelming, stressful and exhausting for students. At Baylor, we want to remind our students that there are resources available — on campus and remote (including over the summer), some are available 24/7. 

Holistic wellbeing is incredibly important, and students are encouraged to reach out to these resources, their community and/or trusted faculty and staff.
