Counseling Services partners with colleagues, departments, and student groups across campus to promote mental health and wellbeing. Our recurring events, campaigns, and outreach programming focus on destigmatizing the topic of mental health, encouraging self-care, and bringing awareness to some of the wellness issues our campus community faces.
Mental Health Awareness Month
Mental Health Awareness Month (MHAM) is nationally recognized every May. The purpose of MHM is to raise awareness of the importance of mental health, provide educational opportunites and coping strategies to the campus community, and reduce the stigma that surrounds mental illnesses and help-seeking. Counseling Services invites and welcomes many campus partners to join us in programmatic efforts to promote mental health.

Explore the Power of Body Doubling at AEC & Duck Nest's Neurodivergent-Friendly Study Space! Body doubling involves working alongside someone independently to promote accountability, foster focus and motivation, and reduce isolation. If you get easily distracted while studying, if it is helpful for you to have a quiet environment to study in that’s not the library, or if you want to explore the benefit of fidget tools while studying, this is the place for you! The Duck Nest and AEC will provide the space, facilitators, and some materials to help you start or complete your academic tasks, or to provide support with things like goal setting, breaking down tasks, and more. The Study Hours will occur every Friday from Week 2-10 from 12-2pm in the Duck Nest Wellness Center (Emu 041). If you are interested in joining, there is no need to RSVP.
