Stay tuned to see stories submitted anonymously by graduate students addressing their mental health. This Spring, we are facing unprecedented challenges in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are all experiencing a great deal of mental distress between the abrupt need for social distancing, the uncertain nature of the pandemic, and concerns for our own health as well as the health of our loved ones. The GSG is working to build virtual community spaces to increase social connectedness in this time. However, the chaotic “soup” of uncertainty and anxiety in which we find ourselves has most certainly taken a significant toll on graduate students’ mental health. Thank you for sharing with us the challenges you are facing in the midst of this pandemic and what has helped with these difficulties. We will be posting daily here and on our Slack and Facebook pages.
