About Mentoring

UPSIDE offers virtual mentoring to underrepresented psychology students.  High school students and undergraduates will be paired with doctoral students.  Doctoral students will be paired with professionals in the field.

Mentoring can occur as a one time consultation, weekly contact, or monthly contact. Topics can include application to graduate school/internship/postdoc, entering the profession, navigating life as an underrepresented psychology student in your program, etc.  Mentoring is not a replacement for individual psychotherapy, however; please contact your school's student counseling center for assistance with more personal problems.

All members of UPSIDE are available to serve as mentors.  In addition, professionals from around the country have graciously offered to provide mentoring to underrepresented psychology students.
