Surviving STEM is a platform dedicated to supporting the mental health and professional development of STEM scholars. We offer counseling services, peer support, and resources tailored to the unique challenges of academia.
Our services are designed for PhD students, postdocs, and early-career researchers in STEM fields who are navigating the pressures of academia and need support for their mental health and professional growth.
You can join as a counselor, advisor, volunteer, or participant in our programs. Visit our Get Involved page to learn more about these opportunities.
We provide individual counseling sessions focusing on mental health, stress management, and career guidance, all tailored to the unique needs of STEM scholars.
Our counselors include certified mental health professionals with expertise in STEM-specific challenges, as well as trained STEM scholars with counseling certifications.
Currently, counseling services are available for free as part of our Pilot Program, allowing us to test and refine our platform. In the future, we plan to implement a fee-for-service model once our full team is established. Our goal is to make these services free for students by securing university subscriptions, grants, and investments.
We provide a range of resources, including articles, videos, podcasts, and workshops on mental health, career development, and academic success. Explore our Resources page for more.
