Mental Health Screening Day 1 & 2
Mental Health Screening Day is BACK! This year, we’re taking a new approach, making it TWO DAYS instead of one. Double the opportunities to take care of your mental health, and double the ways to improve your health. Day two of Mental Health Screening Day takes on a new approach, with an enlightening discussion panel of licensed therapists who are part of the Student Health and Counseling Center’s Counseling and Psychological Services team. Plus, students will get the opportunity to experience the benefits, process, and healing capabilities of group therapy (We are highlighting four therapy groups: Grief, RISE, Anxiety Toolbox, and we’re debuting a cinema therapy group!), all for FREE.
