It’s Mental Health Awareness Week
Mental Health Awareness Week is an effort to create awareness and stimulate discourse about mental health on campus with the intent of helping to remove the stigma that surrounds mental illness. We hope to enlighten students and also give them hope. We want students to know that they are not alone and that there are resources and support for them both at Columbia and outside of the Columbia community. Below is brief overview of the week’s events. For detailed event info check out our calendar
