Self-Help

WHAT

The self-help resources available through the University Counseling Center (UCC) assist students in learning more about a particular problem area and strategies to address it. The UCC’s subscription to TAO Connect provides students with access to resources specifically designed for university students. These resources can be especially helpful in providing new perspectives and teaching new ways to approach an emerging problem. Exploring our self-help pages is a good first step for students who need some assistance and new ideas, but not necessarily professional counseling. We also have a curated page of Recommended Resources with a wide range of information on mental health topics and coping tools, and a YouTube Channel with self-help videos organized by playlists for learning about and coping with a variety of issues.  The popular Calm app premium subscription, which includes a wealth of tools for meditation, sleep, and relaxation, is free for ND students.
