Mental Health Awareness

May is "Mental Health Awareness Month" in the United States. But since we won't be in school for most of May, February will be "Mental Health Awareness Month" in our class. We have readings on compulsion, depression, happiness, Freudian psychology, and neuroscience. In addition to those required readings, I'm posting some links below for those who'd like to learn more about mental health.

• UT Counseling and Mental Health Center has lots of information and advice on their website focusing on the specific issues college students face. They also have free resources and opportunities on campus for you.
• Mental Health America Texas and the National Alliance on Mental Illness Texas are both national organizations, with local chapters, committed to helping people whose lives are affected by mental illness.
• Hogg Foundation for Mental Health is a foundation on campus that funds research, mental health services, policy work, and public education.
