Your Input Wanted: Renaming Psychological Services

De Anza's Psychological Services office is considering changing its name, and they'd like to get your input. They're hoping to choose a name that minimizes any stigma that is sometimes associated with mental health care, while also making sure that students know what services are available to them. You can help by completing their short survey no later than this Friday, Oct. 28. All responses are anonymous.
