STUDENT CENTER

Isabel Abarca, CCNY ’22, tried several majors but settled on psychology once she saw the field's need for more Latinas who could better understand their patients. She serves as a Crisis Text Line Counselor and helps her fellow students learn to navigate the network of available resources. Isabel aims to provide affordable and accessible mental health services to people of color.

Isabel’s advice: “If you are starting to feel burnt out, immediately look into the resources you have to take care of your mental health. You cannot achieve your goals if you do not look out for your own needs.”
