Abstract
This study explored help-seeking behavior and barriers among undocumented college students accessing mental health services through semi-structured interviews with 5 participants (4 females, Mage =20.8). Recurring themes included status-related stigma, emotion suppression, and lack of resources, indicating a need for enhanced campus services to better support undocumented students.
