Nsashaell System are currently working towards a graduate degree in psychology. Our session will focus on our experiences as a plural graduate student(s), including our decision to keep our plurality a secret, various existential issues, how we handle a busy workload as a multiple system, and our future goals regarding becoming psychologist(s). We will also discuss why we are pursuing our degree and how our previous experiences with mental health care have impacted our career goals.
