Second Annual Mental Health Awareness Week: March 7-11

A recent article in the New York Times highlighted a report that mental health issues involving college students appear to be on the rise. As faculty and staff, we can help our students think about how they are managing their own mental health—from the seemingly small things like stress management to the bigger issues, such as alcohol abuse and suicidal thoughts.

Several departments and organizations are coming together to offer a week of programming devoted to positive ways to take care of our mental health while balancing all that college has to offer. Please contact Suzanne Johnson LCSW-R at the Counseling Center if you have any questions or wish to be involved.

Stay tuned for the upcoming schedule. Please let students know and consider offering course credit to attend these fun and educational programs to help manage stress and increase awareness of the mind-body-spirit connections for good mental health.
