Self-Care KIT
Mental Health Awareness Promotional Project at NSCC Truro Campus
College and university students either suffer from mental illness or are at high risk of developing a mental illness, which could affect their daily performance at school (Giamos, Young Soo Lee, Suleiman, Stuart & Chen, 2017). The stress of transitioning from high school to postsecondary can have a huge mental impact on anyone as it is a life-changing experience. In addition, many students end up putting too much pressure on themselves and then feel disappointed because they have not reached their expectations. This could lead to depression or anxiety.
Unfortunately, many of these students do not take advantage of accessing the mental health services due to peer-pressure, stigma, lack of knowledge about the counseling services, or negative experiences in the past (Giamos et al., 2017). NSCC Truro has made some significant progress in aiding awareness towards mental health issues among students, but more awareness still needs to be raised. Therefore, this mental health awareness promotional project is a mental wellness kit that will be available for anyone who is struggling with mental illness. The focus of this kit is to promote mental health awareness, to reduce stigma and increase resiliency.
