Healthy Mind

Mental Health is not something many people talk about, it is not a very discussed subject but it is very important. I recently started hearing and discussing about it, after 18 years. I never realized that I personally was being affected and most of the stress and anxiety was being caused by school. Fortunately, I discovered a great and useful tool that has provided aid during my first year of college.  It has been very useful and I will continue to use this resource throughout my entire four years of college. This resource is called CAPS, which stands for Counseling and Psychological Services. It has been of great help to me, because they help you with adjusting to college and coping with stress, which were the most troublesome factors in my life. At first, I was trying to deal with it on my own, but then I heard about these resources and decided to give it a go, which I do not regret. They provide a lot of support and actually help get through tough times. Adjusting to college and coping with stress are not the only services they provide, there is so much more. Many students are not aware of it and others simply just choose not to reach out, but you’ll be surprised how much better your life will be after seeking for help when you need it.  It is also confidential so you don’t have to worry about someone else knowing all of your business. I can tell you from experience that you’ll feel more relieved after opening up to someone, that way you don’t carry everything. I greatly recommend this resource, I know I will continue to keep reaching out to them and the services they provide.
