Just say yes - to less mental stress
Mental health week hopes to gets students thinking - about their minds
Pamela Ellermann
The keynote address - given yesterday by Psychiatry research fellow Paul Grant - marked the week's first academic foray into mental health.
Tonight, the group will host a How to Help a Friend Panel, which will feature five to six panelists, including representatives from Counseling and Psychological Services and the Reach-A-Peer hotline, who will tell personal stories about seeking help and give advice on helping friends in difficult situations.
The week continues with a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy workshop, which will provide students with tips for stress reduction, and an information fair, at which CAPS representatives will answer questions.
Other groups will contribute to the week, including Healthy Living Task Force and RAP-Line.
"Hopefully if students see that there are many groups and people dedicated to this purpose, they will be more interested in learning more about it," said College junior Jessica Kansky, an Active Minds member and event organizer.

I do not teach, nor condone the teaching of "stigmas."
