Fall is beautiful in Connecticut!  Leaves are changing, the air is crisp, and there are apple cider donuts around every corner. However, for law students, Fall is also when coursework and extra-curricular activities begin to pile up and deadlines start to feel more imminent than the first hard frost.  Luckily for students at UConn Law, the library and staff have prepared resources to help students power through the Fall season. 

UConn Law offers various resources to help you recognize mental health concerns as well as resources available to help you focus on your well-being.  The UConn Law Office of Student Affairs staff is located in One Stop on the second floor of the library. Students can also book an appointment to talk with our On-Campus Mental Health Counselors through the UConn Law Student Portal.  

The following initiatives available to UConn Law students are offered in partnership with Student Health and Wellness at UConn-Storrs.

The online module runs for approximately 40 minutes and connects users with a coach and walks through various scenarios.
