We, the undersigned students and community members, believe that college students deserve accessible, affordable, and stigma-free mental health support.

Anxiety and depression affect many college students and can interfere with academic success, relationships, physical health, and overall quality of life. Students should not have to struggle alone or face long wait times and barriers when seeking help.

We are asking our college/community to take meaningful action to improve mental health support for students.

We demand:

-Increase access to counseling services by expanding the availability of mental health appointments and reducing excessive wait times.
-Provide more mental health education and awareness programs so students can recognize signs of anxiety and depression and know where to find help.
-Expand peer-support and outreach programs that connect students with supportive resources and reduce the stigma surrounding mental health.
-Make mental health resources easy to find and access, both online and on campus.
Listen to student voices when developing and improving campus mental health programs and policies.

By signing this petition, I support stronger mental health resources and greater awareness of anxiety and depression among college students.

Initial goal: 50 signatures

Student mental health matters. College should be a place where students can succeed academically without sacrificing their mental well-being.
