Mental Health Resources for Students of Color

While all students need a variety of supportive resources during their time at SLU, we acknowledge that students who identify as Black, Latinx or with other marginalized identity groups, often experience additional challenges where mental health is concerned due to structural inequities and institutional racism. Recognizing those distinctive needs, we offer this list as a starting point.

As with any non-SLU resource, we are not in a position to endorse the following links, nor can we assure the content or services provided by these resources will be right for every person. Should you choose to pursue or engage any of these external sources, please ensure they are right for you. The University does not receive any compensation for listing these resources or if a student utilizes any of these services or providers.
