Whether it is stress, depression, anxiety or eating disorders, »Ê¹Ú²ÊƱ encourages the mental wellbeing of its students and community and offers numerous ways for individuals struggling to seek help.

The Counseling Center sponsors two screening days every academic year for anxiety and depression. The ongoing goal is to provide wellness education to help students and to provide screening services for those concerned about the amount of stress or depression in their lives. The Mental Health Screening and Education Days combine a valid and reliable screening tool with interactive actives, such as games and prizes containing lighthearted, educational components.
