The last year has been an exceptionally challenging one for our community, and we want you to know that we are here for you. The UM Counseling Center is a great resource that you can learn about here and/or schedule an appointment with here. The University also offers a free, completely anonymous self-screening tool that is intended to help you determine whether you might benefit from additional assistance or support from a mental health professional. Only you see the results, and then decide if you’d like to speak with a UM counselor or an off-campus professional. Please also know that you can always reach out to our Dean of Students at deanofstudents@law.miami.edu.
Additionally, a new Miami Law student organization, the Mental Health Collective, was formed this semester and you can join here. Further, the American Bar Association has mental health resources available online for law students, as does the Florida Bar in their Mental Health and Wellness Center. You can also click here to learn about Miami Law’s “Mindfulness in Law Program.” Finally, Headspace is an awesome app with guided meditations that can help with law school stress or anxiety (it is available at a discounted rate for students).
