World Mental Health Day

World Mental Health Day is observed every October 10 in an effort to raise awareness of mental health issues around the world and to mobilize support for those in need. The day also serves as an important reminder to not take our own mental health for granted.

The University of Alaska provides several benefits to help support mental health.
