Abstract
Mental health difficulties are highly prevalent among graduate students (Evans et al., 2018). Graduate students in psychology at a Canadian university (N= 109) were surveyed about their top stress factors and barriers to seeking services. Workload and cost of services emerged as top factors, indicating possible areas for effecting change.
