Make sure to register for the Mental Health and Wellness webinar on Friday, Sept. 15 from 1-2 p.m.

Last year, at the request of students, staff, and faculty, we committed to prioritizing mental health and wellness as essential to a thriving community. We joined the suicide prevention collaborative of El Paso County, ensured students had 24-hour access to diverse counselors through telehealth, asked all employees to participate in QPR suicide prevention training, committed to paying employees a living wage, partnered with Children’s Hospital to research student wellness, and so much more.

We are excited to share new understandings and promising next steps to ensure we continue to prioritize our collective wellness. Join us for the first event of the series with a community-wide Mental Health and Wellness webinar, led by divisional representatives and Rankin Climate, an external leader in institutional climate assessment.
