Mental Health Awareness Months, Weeks, & Days
At CAMPUSPEAK, we understand the vital role that mental health programming plays in students’ overall well-being and success.
Numerous studies have shown that ongoing mental health support can lead to a significant reduction in the prevalence of mental health issues among college students.
By integrating mental health initiatives throughout the year, you create an environment where students feel supported, empowered, and equipped to handle the challenges they face.
That’s why as you prepare for the upcoming academic year, we want to encourage your campus to embrace a year-round approach to mental health programming. Below is a calendar of Mental health-related awareness months, weeks, and days for the upcoming academic year*
