Today is World Mental Health Day — a globally recognized day to raise awareness about critical mental health issues to encourage action that creates lasting change. As a campus community, it provides an opportune time to reaffirm our commitment to fostering an environment that supports well-being.
While we recognize the significance of today, we also know how important it is to live out this commitment every day. We encourage you to reach out to friends, peers and colleagues on a regular basis to check in, offer support and let them know they are not alone.
We invite you to explore UTSA’s free resources and participate in well-being efforts across campus. Academic Affairs also recently launched a well-being task force to amplify, enhance and expand well-being programs. Other resources include:
Please know you are an appreciated member of the Roadrunner family, and we thank you for continually contributing to our culture of well-being. Together, we will continue to make UTSA a great and supportive place to work, learn and discover.
