Uni Cancelled Access to Licensed Therapists Right Before Exams?!
I am absolutely furious right now. On December 1st—right before exams started—our university suddenly cancelled our access to licensed therapists without any announcement or heads-up. No emails, no notice, nothing. It just happened, as if our mental health doesn’t even matter.
Exams are over for me now, but that doesn’t make what the university did any more acceptable. This is supposed to be the time when students need support the most. Exams were already stressful enough, and for those of us who relied on therapy to stay on track mentally, this was a huge blow. It felt like they were saying, “Good luck surviving the semester, but don’t count on us for help.”
What makes this worse is the lack of transparency. How can they just cut such an important service without consulting students or even giving us time to prepare for the change? I feel completely blindsided and abandoned.
Has anyone else experienced something like this at their school? How did you handle it? I’m trying to process this, and it’s really hard to accept that they pulled funds from such a critical service. Would love to hear your thoughts or advice.
