Cal Poly & Local Resources
Recognizing that Cal Poly Panhellenic extends beyond social connection, this page brings together Cal Poly and national resources, including crisis lines, mental health resources, and therapy options. By centralizing this information in one place, we hope to reduce barriers to access and ensure that every member can easily find the support they need, when needed.
Our goal in creating this resource page is to foster a more informed, inclusive, and supportive Panhellenic community by making essential resources visible and easily accessible to all members of our community. We strive to encourage individuals to prioritize their well-being, seek support without hesitation, and take full advantage of the opportunities available to them. You are always welcome to contact me for any questions, concerns, or if you are in need of additional support!
