In May we celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month. With this nationally recognized month, we promote the importance of taking care of one’s emotional well-being and challenge the stigmas associated with mental health. This year at the University of Oregon, we continue to engage in the theme of “Mental Health is Health.”
We want to emphasize the challenges students, faculty members, and staff face regarding their mental health, especially within the context of the current global and local climates.
