Weekly Mental Health Q&A


Monday, March. 21st

"I just moved to Hyde Park, and my apartment was broken into. Although I didn’t have much worth stealing, I feel like I’ve been violated. I spend as little time as possible in my apartment now, and I have trouble falling asleep at night. I jump every time I hear a noise. Can someone at SCRS help me to work through some of the fear that I’ve been feeling?"
WHAT SCRS CAN DO:
  • help you talk about the incident, and how to cope with the fears you’ve developed
  • help you realistically assess vulnerabilities and think about steps you can take to feel safer in this new environment

DISCLAIMER: None of the vignettes are based on actual University of Chicago students or specific incidents. The vignettes suggest possible scenarios but do not represent any particular University students. The SCRS maintains a strict confidentiality policy that is outlined our Policies section.
