Mental Health and Wellness
When it comes to mental health, we believe it’s okay not to be okay. We’re here to normalize the conversation and help our members navigate their stressors and take control of their emotional wellness.
Did you know that one-in-four college students experience a mental health challenge? Or that one-in-four young adults between the ages of 18-24 has a diagnosable mental illness? Or that 75% of lifetime cases of mental health conditions begin by age 24?
These reasons and more are why Alpha Sigma Tau prioritizes our collegiate members’ mental health and provide these mental health resources:
Introducing Name Your Story with Dr. Lauren Cook
Available to all collegians, new members, and Chapter Advisory Board members beginning September 1, 2023!
Brought to us by Dr. Lauren Cook, this program gives our collegiate members a chance to learn about the signs and symptoms of common mental health concerns, provides training on how to talk about these experiences with their Sisters, and allows them to discover new forms of self-care.
Through video-based online learning modules, our members will come away with a new understanding of their mental health. By talking about mental health, we are not only making it okay for students to engage in their mental health pursuits but also supporting them in that journey.
Due to the specificity of the content, this course is only available to AΣT new and collegiate members and Chapter Advisory Board volunteers.
📆 Upcoming Event:
Fearless Sisterhood: Embracing Empathy for Stronger Connections with Dr. Lauren Cook
Wednesday, February 21
8 p.m. ET
Join Dr. Lauren Cook on a journey to better understand how we can cultivate open lines of communication, increase our empathy for each other, and embrace discomfort to take our personal development to that next level.
We’ll see that when we lean into the challenge, rather than run away from it, we build not only a stronger sense of self but a stronger and more supportive sisterhood.
