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.

Many students arrive in Eugene unfamiliar with the Pacific Northwest’s distinct environmental conditions, such as heavy rainfall, seasonal allergies, wildfire smoke, and long gray winters. Although these individuals attend multiple orientations when they begin college, few address the local climate or how to adapt to it. A Student's Guide to Surviving Eugene's Climate aims to educate students about the Willamette Valley’s environment -- covering topics such as water source and quality, seasonal food and crops, wildfire preparedness, allergy management, and strategies for emotional resilience during the winter months. In collaboration with the Grove Garden and the Outdoor Program, we hope to highlight resources around campus that students can get involved with along with individual practices they can take home in order to prepare for the colder months. If you are feeling worried about the long, cold winter to come, this is the place for you! There will be free pizza and snacks :) We hope to see you there!
When: November 21st, 2025, 3:00-4:30 PM Where: EMU Room 107 - Miller Room
