Mental Health Resources

Life after high school can be exciting, yet challenging. This may be a time of transition for many of you. Many of you have decided to stay home and join the workforce and/or college, while others may have moved away from home for the first time to join the military and/or attend a college out of your hometown.

Whichever your situation may be, you are on that journey for a reason. You will thrive! In the journey to do so, we hope you are caring for yourself and your mental health.

Anxiety and Depression Association of America research demonstrates that there is a need for mental health support at the college level. About 80% of students report they feel stress on a daily basis. If you are feeling stressed, depressed, anxious, please know you are not alone and there are people and resources that will support you!
