Mental Health Awareness Week- Mindful March Madness

Get ready for "Mindful March Madness" on campus! From March 24-28, 2025, we're hosting a week-long celebration of mental health awareness and self-care. Each day will feature exciting events designed to promote mental well-being. Join us for mental health screenings, therapy dogs, self-care activities, and more. Stop by one of our tables or events to complete your own "self-care bracket," then let us know your self-care winner for a chance to win one of 4 self-care baskets valued over $100! This is your chance to prioritize your mental health, connect with others, and learn valuable self-care techniques. Remember, taking care of your mind is just as important as taking care of your body. See you there for a week of growth, reflection, and positive mental health practices!
