COLLEGIATE MENTAL HEALTH INNOVATION COUNCIL OF GREATER ST. LOUIS

The Collegiate Mental Health Innovation Council of Greater St. Louis is a great opportunity for college students to create change on how mental health is perceived on college campuses and remove barriers to treatment that can help students achieve recovery and pursue their dreams.


Today’s college students experience record-high levels of stress, depression, and anxiety.

Early signs of some mental health conditions like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia begin during young adulthood, and early detection is key to recovery.

If you are experiencing mental health challenges, it's important to know that you are not alone and that talking about it is critical. For many students, shame and fear of stigma from peers leads to suffering in silence.

Let’s stop hiding and start talking!

WHAT IS THE COLLEGIATE COUNCIL?

Launched in 2020 by Mental Health America of Eastern Missouri, the Collegiate Council empowers students attending colleges and universities in the St. Louis area with opportunities to:

01
Gather regularly with like-minded students from other colleges to identify common mental health challenges and discuss solutions.
02
Work with peers to organize stigma-reduction efforts that can improve services and supports needed for recovery on area campuses.
03
Learn more about and participate in community-based advocacy and volunteering.
04
Educate others about mental health issues, improve outcomes for those living with mental illness, and help create campus environments that support students living with mental illness.
