Mental Health Campaign

In 2024 Kent State University was selected for a Bronze Educational Advertising Award with its Mental Health Campaign.

Setting Our Goal

  • Reduce the Stigma
  • Seek Help
  • Refer a Flash

Effectively and clearly combat mental health stigmas impacting our campus community while creating broader awareness and deeper understanding regarding the mental health resources offered university-wide and how/when to access them.

Soft Launch

In March 2023, a soft launch of a new, University-Wide Mental Health Resources and Support Website was implemented. This launch was inclusive of the main Kent Campus, all 7 regional campuses, and Kent State's campus in Florence, Italy.
