Revision as of 11:27, 15 September 2019
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
