Graduate school can be demanding and stressful. There is much to learn, long hours in the classroom and competing demands for your time. The volume of work and the intense pace of your training may require that you make adjustments to your lifestyle. These changes can test your usual coping skills. Remember, the staff and faculty in SPHSC are here to support you in any way that we can. In some cases, however, you may be best served by seeking services or advice from one of the following resources:
