As the new semester is getting underway, the Campus Mind Works team is pleased to continue offering free, drop-in education and support groups on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of every month through April. Designed for any U-M student with bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and chronic anxiety, each group begins with an educational presentation and Q & A focusing on topics which can impact student mental health, including: relationships, the connections between exercise and mood, how substance use affects mental health, and new research on nutrition and its effects on the brain. This is followed by a facilitated support group session, providing an opportunity for students to discuss challenges they are facing, share successful strategies for managing illness in the context of college life, and connect with other students who may have similar experiences.
