College Mental Health Matters
College is about so much more than academics. From navigating grades and graduation to building self-awareness and healthy relationships, students grow, change, and face new challenges. Those experiences impact their emotional wellness, self-perception, beliefs about the world, and more. These are fundamental components of mental health, which influences all aspects of our lives. So does getting support when you need it. Whether a student is struggling to survive college or needs a quick tune up every semester, the mental health support they get in school can shape the rest of their life.
