October 10th is recognized as World Mental Health Day. The purpose of the day is to raise awareness of mental health issues and to help recognize actions that can be taken to help support mental health.
Mental Health includes our emotional, psychological and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel and act. It also affects how we manage stress, relate to others, and make decisions.
At UW-Green we have extensive well-being resources available for employees! Take sometime today during World Mental Health Day to review the following resources available to you year-round!
