Graduate school is a high stress situation due to the need of fulfilling expectations while balancing various personal, professional, and educational obligations. As a result, graduate students are especially susceptible to mental health conditions during their educational journey. Take a Stability Equilibrium Course ("Take a SEC") was developed as an adaptable 11-week prevention program focused on providing support and mental health education during a graduate student's first semester. "Take a SEC" can be purchased by university graduate programs. This cost includes materials and guided demonstration instructions, one-on-one problem solving with the program developer, and a team to determine short-term and long-term outcomes. This program is ideal for universities due to its affordable costs and ability to customize the program to fit the cohort's needs with virtual or in-person methods. Although "Take a SEC" has several goals, ultimately this program aims to decrease negative stigmas towards mental illness and encourage peers to seek care earlier or help others struggling with their mental health to decrease the rates of dropouts, hospitalizations, and suicides in this population. This program has the opportunity and theoretical basis to reverse the growing trend of mental health conditions in graduate students. With university support, proper funding, and accessibility, "Take a SEC" will have the power to help individuals achieve their academic endeavors and overcome challenges during their university journey and beyond.
