About the Mental Health Matters Initiative

The Student Government Association recognizes the importance of addressing the mental health of Tennessee Tech students. The American College Health Association found in 2019 that 87% of college students felt overwhelmed by all they had to do, 66% felt overwhelming anxiety, 56% felt things were hopeless, and 13% seriously considered suicide. In 2020 and beyond, students face the added pressures of a global pandemic, racial tensions, and civil unrest. We feel it is time to take measures to combat these staggering statistics.

Now, more than any other time in history, students must be empowered to address their own mental health and support each other. The Mental Health Matters initiative seeks to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health by openly engaging in dialogue about the topic and encouraging students to take advantage of the many free resources offered by the Counseling Center. Please join us in starting the conversation and taking a stance against the stigma. Golden Eagles, your mental health matters.
