Know where to go
before the hard week comes.

Each term, map the places on and around campus that help: the counseling center, the health center, 988, advising, the food pantry and more. Save the numbers, glance at the everyday basics once a week, and write down what you will do if a week gets hard.

How to use it

  1. At the start of each term, look up the counseling center and save its number.
  2. Add the other places that help on your campus, and save 988.
  3. Once a week, mark the basics; it takes thirty seconds.
  4. Write your plan for a hard week while the week is good.
  5. Print the map and stick it where you will see it.

Help comes in three sizes

Three kinds of help, and when to use themEvery daySleep, meals, movement, people you likeWhen something is offCounseling center, health center, advisor, RA, a friendWhen someone may not be safeCall or text 988 any time; call 911 or campus police in an emergencyThree kinds of help, and when to use themEvery daySleep, meals, movement, people you likeWhen something is offCounseling center, health center,advisor, RA, a friendWhen someone may not be safeCall or text 988 any time; call 911 orcampus police in an emergency
Using help early is the point. You do not need to be in crisis to book a counseling appointment.

The basics are not small

Sleep, food, movement and time with people are the base everything else stands on. When several slip in the same week, classes and moods usually follow. Noticing that early is a reason to use your plan and reach out, not a verdict on how you are doing.

Counseling on campus

Most colleges offer free short-term counseling to enrolled students, often with same-day or walk-in times and an after-hours phone line, and can connect you to longer care in the community. You do not need a crisis to go. This organizer is for planning; it is not a screening, diagnosis or treatment.
