“Your Education, Your Future: A Guide to College and University for Students with Psychiatric Disabilities” is organized into sections, each focused on particular aspects of the college and university experience.

Read a section or two and then come back to it at another time. Talk to friends and family about what you’ve read and any questions you may have. You don’t need to make a decision about anything right away.
