We are pleased to announce the 2024 Champions for Mental Health!
Professors, TAs and staff members play strong roles in supporting and advancing student mental health. The Champions for Mental Health program was developed through a student-led initiative, responding to both student feedback and clear research calling for increased mental health promotion in academic and other campus environments.
The Champions for Mental Health project aligns with the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ Campus Wellbeing Framework. The framework's goal is to encourage and support an inclusive culture of wellbeing that inspires and enables all who live, learn, and work at ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ to thrive. (Nominations will re-open in Spring 2025.)
