Mental Health Resources

The Living Room
Project LETS and Fireweed Collective center the experience of mad and disabled multiply marginalized people with resources and sometimes online support groups
Trans Lifeline is a 24/7 crisis line for trans and non-binary people that does not work with the police and has a great resource bank of other resources that avoid the police and carceral system

Mental healthcare is not separate from the medical industrial complex and has a long history of perpetuating the harms of racial capitalism
For example, calls to crisis lines, including Student Wellness' 24/7 therapist on call, do not always but can sometimes lead to intervention or detainment of the caller by the police/UCPD
This does NOT mean that you shouldn't talk to people about what you are going through or seek help. It is important, however, to be conscious about the way that institutions function and how to navigate them
