Trans and Non-Binary Resource and Statement of Support

We recognize that trans and non-binary people are at higher risk of being victims of violence, including homicide, of dying by suicide, and suffering with mental health conditions. These risks are particularly high for trans women of color.                                        

The URI Counseling Center’s mission is to facilitate the emotional wellbeing of our students, including our trans and non-binary students. We stand in solidarity with our trans and non-binary community members
and welcome our students to talk with us in a confidential setting about their gender identity, any experiences of discrimination, subordination, hate, or negation they experience, or other life stressors.

We have put together this list of on and off campus resources to further support our trans and non-binary community members. There is also a link to our full Statement of Support

Asian American and Pacific Islander Mental Health Resources

The URI Counseling Center is deeply saddened by the shootings in Atlanta, GA. We recognize that these shootings have occurred amidst a startling increase in violence against Asian Americans and Asians living in the US. We stand in solidarity with the AAPI community, and acknowledge our responsibility to advocate for the rights, safety and well-being of our AAPI students, colleagues, friends and family.                                                     

The URI Counseling Center team is here to provide support for students experiencing race-based traumatic stress, anxiety and fear. We can be reached by calling us at 401-874-2288.

The Mental Health Coalition has put together a list of additional resources.
