Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health. College life can be overwhelming with deadlines, exams, and personal challenges pilling up. Among them all, it is easy to forget to check in with yourself. Mental health affects how we think, feel, and behave, shaping how we cope with stress, achieve our goals, and connect with others. With its profound impact on our lives, knowing where to turn for support is essential.
At Michigan Tech, help is always within reach. The Center for Student Mental Health and Well-being, located in the Administration Building 301, offers comprehensive support to students. According to the Center, “We support mental health and wellness for Michigan Tech students through individual and group counseling, well-being education and programming, and peer support. All of our services are culturally-conscious, innovative, evidence-based, and at no cost to students.”
If you prefer resources beyond campus, there are hotlines and online tools available. For urgent concerns, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline by dialing 988.
Your mental health matters, and help is closer than you think. Take a moment today to explore the resources above, whether it’s reaching out to the Center, talking to a trusted friend, or prioritizing self-care. Everyone deserves support, and there is no better time than now to seek it.
