The university administration has formally committed to expanding mental health resources and implementing a new anti-stigma policy. Your participation brought this issue to the forefront of the institutional agenda. Please remain attentive as we observe how these changes are applied in practice.
Mental health problems affect 1 in 4 people every year, and are particularly pertinent in a university setting. We all have mental health, and it is healthy to acknowledge and look after it. By signing this petition, we are declaring our experience and our stand against discrimination and stigma surrounding mental health issues.
The stories and experiences shared in the comments section remain a testament to the urgency of this conversation. I am currently compiling these perspectives to ensure that our collective message is presented with clarity to the university administration.

Mental health is just as real as physical health. Why do people act like it doesn't exist??

Too many people suffer in silence because they are scared of what people will think. It needs to change.
