Figuring out when you need help and where to ask for it is not always a straightforward process. It can be difficult to determine where, how, and why you are struggling with something. Allow yourself time for introspection and take healthy breaks from the areas that are upsetting or frustrating you. Whether it helps with learning strategies, academic courses, your mental health, financial aid, or anything else, asking for help is a sign of strength! We also encourage you to look up specific supports available at your campus.
