Programs and Initiatives for Mental Health

Prioritize your mental well-being. Lead a healthier student life. Graduate students experience mental health issues including anxiety, depression, and social isolation. According to a recent survey by the American College Health Association, 64% of college students reported feeling extremely lonely in the last year. The COVID pandemic has compounded these feelings of loneliness, stress, anxiety, and depression. During this period of social isolation, uncertainty and abrupt transitions, students are prone to further worsening of these feelings.

Coffee Connect and Coffee with a Colleague are social wellness programs that connect students, staff, and faculty. Social wellness is integral in supporting our mental and emotional health. We connect you to a new fellow student or colleague monthly.

Coffee Connect (for students) is an opportunity to meet up one-on-one with students from other schools on the UMB campus for a coffee hangout. Sign up to be matched with a new student to meet each month. This wellness initiative aims to help students improve their social dimension of wellness. Having healthy relationships with family and friends, and the community is integral to our whole health and well-being. You can opt out at anytime.
