CSUN Services - Got COVID-19 or Pandemic Stress?
All of us have lived through the COVID-19 pandemic.
Some of us are still recovering from all we've been through
and may need
some extra support.
It's hard in the midst of our busy lives to reach out when we need support. Sometimes we turn to our friends or family for someone to listen or for academic help. Especially now, we can all use new resources to help make our lives easier.
CSUN has many free services and places to go for extra help. Here's a few on-campus resources to try:
academic support and tutoring
wellbeing workshops and counseling
focus and thinking skills
drop-in classes to relax

Community Service Project and Formal Research Study has Concluded
Community Service Project has Ended
Unfortunately, due to increased responsibilities, staff no longer have time to supervise our project and graduate student clinicians. Our grant from the HHD Innovation and Collaboration Challenge has also concluded. Sadly, due to these circumstances, we can't continue this community service project at this time.
If you need support for post-COVID symptoms, contact the CSUN community services and departments above directly or feel free to reach out to us for referrals.
If SLPs or students in CDS programs want resources or info on our project, please feel free to email us at: CsunCovidTail@gmail.com
Experts are finding that anywhere from 15-40% of people who had COVID (regardless of illness severity) can have "Brain Fog" even weeks to months after the initial infection.
If you had COVID-19 (COVID), you might have “Brain Fog”.
You’ve probably heard, but Brain Fog doesn't just happen when people are hospitalized with COVID. Even with no symptoms or milder COVID, you can have trouble with thinking, focus, memory and learning. Brain Fog can begin right away, or later on.
