Hi John,
This past month has been, and continues to be, a difficult time for our communities. The ongoing uncertainty and grief can be especially heavy as we try to make sense of what current events at the local and national levels can mean for us, our loved ones, and our futures. The good news is, you don’t have to go through it alone. If you are an undocumented student in California and are 18-45 years old, the Mental Health Connector may be for you.

With the Mental Health Connector, you can receive free, virtual, and confidential support from our network of culturally responsive therapists! We understand that being a student and undocumented at the same time can present unique challenges. And so, we designed this program to be a safe and inclusive space where undocumented students can be supported by experienced therapists who care, understand, and are prepared.
We invite you to take the first step towards nurturing your mental well-being by signing up for the Mental Health Connector today. Students who wish to connect with a mental health provider should apply here by Monday, August 11, 2025. Eligible applicants will be matched with a therapist on a first-come, first-served basis starting Monday, August 18. The service will close once capacity is reached.
