Revision as of 21:22, 15 September 2020
This page will be full of resources at MIT for various personal issues. This page is currently under development (09/15/2019).
Although hall has MedLinks and Pleaducators and a GRA, sometimes people want to speak with someone they haven't met before. The original intent of this page was to list such anonymous resources. This page is roughly ordered in decreasing abstraction, AKA from most remote to most in-person & specific to floorpi.
I've tried my best to write the procedures for some of these resources that I've used. If your experience is different or you have more comments, please modify as such.
Use the table of contents to jump to whatever section suits your needs most

Contents
Remote resources
Resources that do not involve communication in-person.
More to be added
Urgent or emergency numbers
State of emergency | Number to call | Notes |
---|---|---|
Located at MIT or FSILGs | (617) 253-1212 | Spend a Sunday evening memorizing this number (it's p easy)! |
Located at MIT | 100 | You may use 100 on a campus phone, if it's more convenient. |
NOT located at MIT or FSILGs | 911 | General US emergency number |
Clinician on call | (617) 253-4481 | Call if MIT Medical is closed but you need to address an urgent medical concern or need an urgent prescription refill |
Urgent care | (617) 253-4481 | For medical or mental health urgent issues. |
Violence Prevention and Response | (617) 253-2300 | 24-hr number. Supports survivors in making a plan after: sexual assault, dating & domestic violence, stalking, sexual harassment, unhealthy relationships. |
Pro-tip: you can put these numbers in your contact list
Lean On Me
Lean On Me is an anonymous text service where MIT students can have conversations with fellow MIT students about anything. The way the service works is that when a user texts the number, the system will encrypt your phone number and send an alert to our peer supporters. Then, an available peer supporter will answer your text. The anonymity works both ways.
Number: (617) 500-4004
In-person resources
Student Support Services (S3)
Student Support Services (AKA S3, S3, or "S cubed") can help you work with your professors if you ever have a medical or mental health issue that prevents you from finishing an assignment on time.
Location | 5-104 |
Hours | Mon-Fri, 9a-5p |
Appointments |
|
Walk-in hours | Mon-Fri, 10-11a and 2-3p |
Generally the procedure is:
- Walk in and meet with an S3 individual
- Inform them of your distress at a level of specificity comfortable to you
- They'll help you write an email to your professor(s) for accommodation
- Your professor will not be informed of the reason for the accommodation
- You can make an appointment for a later date to tell them how the accommodation went
Student Disability Services
Violence Prevention & Response
Title IX & Bias Response (T9BR)
(IIRC they're changing their name again)
Bias Response
Excerpt from here:
MIT is committed to providing a working, living, and learning environment free of harassment, bias, and discrimination for all of its community members. Addressing incidents of bias and discrimination is a community wide responsibility. The Title IX & Bias Response Office (T9BR) will work closely with our colleagues in other offices to address incidents of bias and discrimination with educational outreach and training.
T9BR will also work closely with the Bias Response Team to document and review all reports of bias or discrimination alleged to have been committed by students, provide impacted students and communities with information on resources for assistance and options to address concerns, develop and coordinate an appropriate response plan, and identify any patterns or systemic problems.
This brochure explains the procedure in clearer detail than the flow chart on the right. You have the power to submit this form, either anonymously or non-anonymously. The most common response to bias and harassment is a private educational follow-up with the instigator.
Mental Health & Couseling
MIT Medical
People at EC
This section needs to be updated every year (er, semester?). Thus, please update it, and write when you last checked that all the information was proper.
Last checked all info was correct: 09/15/2019
(Note: the direct quotes below are, unless otherwise specified, from David Ramsay's email I used to construct much of this page)
Entity | Kerb | Role | Support they can provide |
---|---|---|---|
Alexandria Clyburn | aclyburn | The new Area Director | Remarkably friendly and empathetic. "Best person to talk to in a crisis, or just anytime." |
Sandy Alexandre | alexandy | Head of House | "Easy to talk to, fun, and thoughtful. She has a new baby too! You can find her on the first floor of Monroe. Good to talk to for bureaucratic concerns or big issues." |
Eden and Cristian Medina | eden, crmedina | Associate Heads of House | Located in putz (2W) just below us. Have a son name Gael. "Good to talk about anything, especially things relating to EC." |
Bisrat Abebe | bisrata | S3 liaison | "Reach out to him if you need to get an assignment/exam excused or bumped. He can help with more serious problems, too— he's a trained social worker with experience in crisis intervention. He's a great first point of contact for most things." |
Kathleen Monagle | monaglek | Student Disability Services | "if you feel like you generally might want extra accommodation with tests or assignments, Kathleen is the woman that can make it happen. If you break your arm or leg, she's also the right person to reach out to for special accommodations." |
EC GRAs | ec-grt | The "the older looking ones in the building". Mentors and role models, someone to talk to. | |
EC MedLinks | ec-medlinks | Can contact if our MedLink doesn't seem to be on hall. Note, EC has many MedLinks; if you'd like to keep your issue confidential, wait for hall's MedLink. |
