We recognize that watching the incessant murder and dehumanization of our
community takes a toll on our mental, emotional, and physical health. Please do
not hesitate to reach out to us for support. Here is a list of mental health
resources the law school has compiled.

TMLS is working with UT Law’s administration to meet the needs of our Black
