The Graduate Student Council, in partnership with the Guarini School of Graduate and Advanced Studies, and the Dartmouth College Postdoc Association has created a month-long program to raise awareness of, and to support, the importance of good mental health.
In May, we have events of all types to help inform, relax, and bring fun to the Guarini community this month. All events are free!
Check out these events for Guarini Mental Health Awareness Month brought to you in collaboration with the GSC, DCAL, DCPDA the Counseling Center, and the Guarini School.
In addition, and ongoing, the Student Wellness Center offers regular yoga classes and meditation sessions as well as wellness check-ins that provide an opportunity to talk openly with a trained, non-judgmental listener about anything that might be going on in your life. Check-ins are available via Zoom, phone, or in-person (masked indoors or unmasked outside).
