Mental Health at HPW:
Our goal is to increase social support around mental health and mental health promotion in order to foster a community of caring, help seeking behavior, and a sense of belonging for SF State students.
We do this by:
- Increase suicide prevention knowledge and skills in the campus community
- Increase sleep promotion in the campus community
- Increase campus wide mental health promotion and self-care opportunities for students
- Implementing various programs, events, and awareness campaigns
Mental Health Programs:
Wags for Wellness: Therapy Animals visit campus and aim to build community through stress-relieving activities, and raise awareness of mental health and wellness resources on campus.
Tea Time Out highlights tea as an alternative to coffee and less caffeine while having stress relieving benefits. Learn about healthy sleep habits and how you need sleep to get A's!
Self-Care Station highlights that self-care is not a luxury but a way to check in with oneself to promote positive mental health. Learn various self-care strategies including self-reflection, practicing gratitude, and engaging our different senses.
Active Minds Student Organization:
Active Minds is a student-led organization changing the conversation about mental health on campus. Members participate in activities and events on educating about mental health/mental health illnesses, reducing mental health stigma, and encouraging people to seek help.
