On December 9, 2015 CMIE’s Program Assistants held a Mental Health Awareness event titled, “Let’s Talk About It: Promoting Awareness on the Effects of Mental Health” The purpose of the event was to inform St. Olaf students about mental health issues and their relation to the community; as well as promoting the resources that are available on and off- campus. The event began with an icebreaker that helped participants get to know one another. Proceeding was an interactive presentation about mental health in the U.S. During the presentation, students had the chance to share their personal experiences and discuss their perceptions on mental health issues.
The participants then engaged in an activity where they shared their hopes and fears in regards to mental health. The event concluded with a brief note from Pastor Fick and Pastor Marohl on the resources available at the College Ministry office in addition to the resources mentioned during the presentation.
