Mattoon, IL-(Effingham Radio)- In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, the Lake Land College Student Wellness Center provided several mental health wellness stations throughout campus for students during finals week.
The stations were located in commons areas in seven buildings across campus. Each station was stocked with free water, snacks and giveaways such as stickers, pens, fidgets and pins. The stations also included information about TalkCampus and the Calm App, two online mental health services available for free to all Lake Land students.
“It’s critical that we support our students’ health and well-being to ensure they can get the most out of their educational experience,” Student Wellness Center Manager Kendra Bierman said. “Finals week is often a stressful time of the semester for students, so we wanted to provide these stations as a source of support and reassurance.”
