(OR) Take10: Mental Health Check-In @HP

University life can be busy, and it's easy to put your well-being on the back burner. Take10: Mental Health Check-In is a chance to pause for just 10 minutes and check in with yourself.

Join Student Health & Wellness to enjoy a welcoming space where you can reflect on how you're doing, learn simple strategies to support your mental well-being, and connect with campus resources like the WellU Key. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, doing well, or somewhere in between, everyone is welcome.

Take 10 minutes for yourself, you deserve it.

(OR) safeTALK

safeTALK is a 4-hour, in-person workshop to build skills in suicide prevention. Participants will learn how to recognize and engage with someone thinking about suicide, overcome attitudes that act as barriers to help, talk openly about suicide and connect with intervention resources for further support.

Through presentations, audiovisuals, small group discussion and scenario practice, you will learn a 4-step TALK model and practical steps to help activate a suicide alert that connects people having thoughts of suicide with more specialized intervention care and relevant resources.
