TROY - The S.A.V.E. Project and Personal Counseling Center at Troy University will host a series of events beginning Oct. 7, focusing on controlling worry, dealing with stress and maintaining positive thoughts in observance of Mental Health Awareness Week.
The events are designed to offer information and tips to help students deal with what can be a stressful time in their lives, said Fran Scheel, coordinator and counselor for the S.A.V.E. Project.
“College students are often stressed, and sometimes there is a stigma regarding mental health," Scheel said. “It's important to let students know that there is a resource right here on campus to help."
The Center will hold events from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day throughout the week at a booth on Bibb Graves Quad.
