School can be frustrating. It's not always clear where to find answers. This section focuses on two specific issues: study skills and paperwork questions.

Mental Health care:
Your campus (I know UMB does, Quinn building all the way past the elevators on the 2nd floor) most likely has a psychologist or psychiatrist available in the campus clinic. This is a great resource to see if you want further care. It’s a safety net. Go to them before going home when you are in crisis.
Addiction is a mental health care issue. Your campus may even have connections to a detox clinic or other emergency services.
