Being the first in your family to attend college is a big accomplishment. But it comes with challenges. You may feel anxious, unprepared or lonely. This is common among first-generation students.

Figuring out how college works can be overwhelming, especially while managing a mental health condition. The Campus Mind Works program at the University of Michigan offers various resources to support your well-being and make the transition easier.

Mental health challenges for first-generation students

Every student faces their own set of challenges that can trigger strong emotions. You're not alone. Many first-generation students feel these same emotions.

Some common emotional responses include feeling:

  • Anxious about letting your family down, finances, grades or falling behind.
  • Intimidated by navigating the complex academic environment.
  • Shame in feeling like you do not belong.
  • Frustrated by not seeing yourself represented in university staff, faculty, or peers.
  • Stressed by switching between school and home life and balancing competing demands.
  • Discomfort in talking to your loved ones about your higher education experience.

Coping strategies

  • Reach out for support: Connect with a CAPS counselor. Campus mental health services are completely confidential and free for U-M students.
  • Find your people: Joining a student organization or going to events can help you make friends and feel more connected.
  • Share your experiences: Talking with your advisor about challenges at U-M can help you get answers and find campus resources.
  • Address academic concerns early: U-M provides various academic support services. Attending office hours can help you connect with professors or GSIs for assistance.
  • Prioritize self-care: Taking breaks from your studies can help you de-stress. Campus Mind Works offers helpful self-care resources.
