Long waits for an appointment with a university therapist. A student insurance plan that doesn’t offer mental health coverage away from campus. Feelings of isolation. Those are some of the problems a group of Yale Law students with mental health issues identified when they started an informal support group in 2014.
They decided to tackle the problem head on, forming the Mental Health Alliance — a campus organization devoted to raising awareness of mental health problems in law school and the legal profession and removing barriers for Yale law students seeking help.
