Today on October 10th, the 33rd annual World Mental Health day, the Office of Counseling and Wellness Services at UST takes a moment to draw awareness to the prevalence of college student mental health needs and options for assistance.
In efforts to commemorate this important day, and to help increase awareness, the University of St. Thomas has lit the Link-Lee Mansion in green.
According to the ACHA, in 2024, 1 in 5 of surveyed college students reported having had serious psychological distress.
With or without statistics, we know that mental health is only one aspect of developing the whole person in flourishing in this God given life.
The mission of Counseling and Wellness Services is to provide free and confidential personal counseling and consultation to enrolled University of St. Thomas undergraduate and graduate students to support and facilitate their academic success and personal growth. On this World Mental Health Day we offer the gentle reminder that mental wellness matters every day, and we are here for you! Never hesitate to reach out to us, at cws@stthom.edu.
The University of St. Thomas cares about your mental well-being and overall development as a human person.

Hey Celts, happy Mental Monday! 🌟✨ Just a reminder to take a moment and appreciate where you are in life. Sometimes we forget that we’re living in moments we once prayed for. Be proud of yourself, celebrate how far you’ve come, and find joy in the little things. You’re exactly where you need to be. 💚🫂

Hey Celts! It’s , and today’s focus is on the power of asking for help. 🫂🌱

Sometimes, reaching out can feel intimidating. Maybe we worry we’ll seem vulnerable, or we think others won’t understand. But remember, needing help is human—and having a support system can make all the difference. 🤝

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, that’s your cue to reach out. Don’t wait until things feel unmanageable. Let’s break the stigma and support each other. Remember we are always here for you do not hesitate to stop by.🙌💚

Hello celts⭐️ today is Mental Health Monday, and our focus for today is trusting the process!

It’s easy to feel stressed or frustrated when the results we’re hoping for don’t show up right away. But sometimes, what seems like a delay or setback is really part of a bigger plan. Trust that it might not be your time just yet—God could be protecting you or preparing you for something even greater. Remember, God’s rejection is often His redirection. Keep the faith and stay patient—your breakthrough is on the way. ✨

Hello, Celts!🌿 Happy Mental Health Monday!
Today’s reminder: Set boundaries. 🧘‍♀️

Boundaries are essential for protecting your mental well-being. They help you say “no” to what drains you and make space for what nurtures you. 💙 Prioritize yourself—it’s not selfish, it’s necessary.
