Mental Health Awareness
Oct 16, 2024
Dear Faculty and Staff 鈥�
It is that time in the year when the number of people struggling with their mental health typically increases. Common themes include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and difficulties with interpersonal relationships. Though these struggles are often expressed at the individual level, they often arise from systemic issues in our environment and culture. We all have an opportunity to create a supportive environment for learning and growth.
