WHAT ARE SAPs:
SAPs are designed to provide students with skills and tools to help manage stress and anxiety surrounding workload, milestones, & academic anxiety. SAPs are open to all UCSB graduate and undergraduate students.
HOW IT WORKS:
SAP integrates a peer-to-peer model, where you work directly with a Mental Health Peer (a UCSB student). SAPs are available to all undergraduate and graduate students.
WHAT IS THE COMMITMENT:
SAPs include three 1-hour long sessions over a 3 week period.
HOW TO SIGN UP:
Fill out this survey to be connected to a mental health peer. Once you submit your responses you will be contacted within 5 business days to schedule a brief screener (15 - 20-minute phone call) to ensure SAP is a good fit. Once you are cleared, you will be contacted to coordinate a time to meet for the first SAP. You will be paired with a peer who will be working with you over the course of the three weeks.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
***SAPs are not intended to replace or be a therapy space.
***All scheduled meetings will be via Zoom between the hours of 8:00am and 4:00pm.
