This week, we’re shining a light on common mental health challenges that affect college students not to diagnose but to educate, reduce stigma, and share ways to support ourselves and others.

Using substances to cope might feel helpful in the moment, but it can make anxiety, depression, sleep, and academics harder to manage. Support is available. #rutgerspmhe #rutgershope #mentalillnessawareness #worldmentalhealthday
