Mental Health in Colleges and Universities

                                                                              Disability Rights Advocates Logo                                           Disability Rights Advocates (DRA), a non-profit law center in Berkeley, California, is investigating the experiences of higher education students with mental health conditions at universities and colleges. We are interested in learning about experiences, both positive and negative. The questions below ask about your personal experience with mental health and how it has been addressed at your college or university campus. This survey is entirely voluntary - feel free to share only to the extent you are comfortable.

Your personal information will not be shared with anyone outside of DRA. We will look at trends in responses, and may contact a handful of people to follow up regarding your experiences, but any information you share with us (on this form or otherwise) will be kept strictly confidential.

This survey should only take 5-10 minutes to complete, and will help us in our effort to ensure that all students with mental health conditions thrive in college and beyond. If you would prefer to share your experiences via email or phone, please contact Jess Miller-Suchet at jmiller-suchet@dralegal.org or (510) 665-8644.

Thank you!
