Today (Monday) is designated by the World Health Organization (WHO) as World Mental Health Day to raise awareness and reduce stigma about anxiety, depression, and overall mental health. We recognize that students, faculty and staff within our own George Fox community face similar challenges.
A few years ago, one of our George Fox alumni created a series of yard signs that were distributed throughout the region to encourage those who might be struggling. During this season of midterms and stress, we have placed a number of those signs throughout campus for the next few weeks.
We encourage you to take time in the midst of this busy season for self-care and to recognize that God is with you and he is for you!
For those who are struggling, we want to remind you about the following confidential resources:
