Trey Curtis-Brown, an Academic Advisor at University of Nevada-Las Vegas, emphasizes how our YOU for Students platform is making a difference in student success, well-being, and mental health: "This is a tool that I wouldn’t offer to you if I didn’t truly believe in its benefits. One of the vital pieces is being able to promise to a student that this is going to be a tool that helps you no matter what." The college experience can be complex, but YOU for Students offers support through engaging content, skill-building tools, and connections to campus resources in over 20 categories, including mental and physical well-being, academic and career success, and purpose and belonging. Helping students navigate all aspects of college can be challenging, but YOU for Students is the tool that makes that easier.

Here are some bullet points to keep in mind: ?? In 2021, a firearm was used in 54.6% of suicides ?? 46% of those who died by suicide had a known mental health condition ?? 44% of U.S. adults own a firearm or live with someone who does ??

In an essay published this week in TIME Magazine, Gary Barker from Equimundo: Center for Masculinities and Social Justice and Esta Soler from Futures Without Violence discuss the #mentalhealth crisis facing young men in the United States. With data points like two out of three 18-23 year olds believing the statement "no one really knows me well," 30% of the youngest men surveyed see no one outside their home on a weekly basis, and 40% of the men surveyed thought about suicide within the previous two-week period, it remains important that we help young men develop safe spaces both "in real life" and online to find support prior to harming themselves or others.

The Olympics are a powerful reminder of the unity and spirit that brings the world together as we cheer on the world's best athletes. This year, many of our favorite athletes from the United States are placing a strong emphasis on mental health—a crucial aspect of their performance and well-being. Here are a few inspiring words from members of the United States Olympic Team: "Mental health, for me, has been a huge, huge component, especially as I've gotten older. I think it's one spot where I can continue to improve. It's not that I've tapped out physically, but I feel like the games are easier to be had mentally at this point. I wouldn't even call this mental health so much as mental engagement, just trying to be present in the moment." —Ryan Crouser, Track and Field "I'm making a bigger effort into taking care of my mind and my body, which includes going to therapy once every week, usually on Thursday is kind of my therapeutic day and I try to take a day for myself,"?"It's really important that I'm taking care of my mind as much as I do my body, especially in this sport and outside of the sport." - Simone Biles At YOU at College, we believe that mental health is for everyone, and we are committed to ensuring that care is comprehensive and personalized, regardless of race, gender, academic status, or athletic involvement.
