it's real: college students and Mental health

"Mental health issues are a very real and growing problem among college students. We want to make sure that those struggling know they are not alone."

The transition to college often presents emotional challenges. It's Real follows six students who struggled with mental health concerns, sought treatment, and found their own sense of balance.

Through this film, students can learn how to balance their lives from other students who have been there, learn how to spot and help friends or students who may be struggling, and have an honest conversation about mental health and well-being.

This 17-minute film is accompanied by a facilitated discussion regarding mental health and suicide on our campus.

Caitlin Cameron, Prevention & Wellness Coordinator for the Nanook Diversity & Action Center will be facilitating our conversation following the film, and she will be joined by a counselor from the Student Health & Counseling Center.
