The SMHC has two meetings per semester, and it is strongly encouraged that all partners attend both meetings. The SMHC can help your student organization by assisting you plan a mental health related event, share your mental health related events on our social media channels, connect you with campus leaders, and provide you with meeting space for your organization. If you are an Independent Member, you could help assist with developing and implementing SMHC sponsored events, posting on social media, and more. All partners of the SMHC will discuss ways in which we can collaborate together to implement mental health related events and initiatives on campus. If you are interested in learning more about the SMHC, setting up a meeting to discuss a potential partnership, or would like to join the SMHC, please provide your information by clicking the button below or contact Kayla Marker (kmarker@kent.edu). The coalition is located on the third floor of Lowry Hall in Suite 331.

SMHC Mental Health Blog (NEW!)
Do you have a question about mental health or illness that you are nervous about asking, or you are unsure who to ask? Submit your question anonymously to our blog! We will show your question to campus leaders who we know will give an educated answer. If you don’t have a question, you can still read our blog! Posts will be uploaded to our website (down below!) monthly. The purpose of our blog is to educate the KSU community about mental health while working to eliminate mental illness stigma. For any questions, please contact Kayla Marker, kmarker@kent.edu.
Submitting questions to the blog is not a place for emergencies or a replacement for help. Our survey is not checked regularly, and we cannot guarantee your question will be answered. If you or someone you know are experiencing mental distress, visit www.kent.edu/stepupspeakout for mental health resources on campus.
