As the year wraps up and finals start piling on, it’s easy for stress to sneak up on you. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and Thrive Health Promotion has a full lineup of events to help you slow down, reset, and look out for your well‑being. Whether you want to plant something green at Wild, Not Crazy, get a sweet treat at Therapy Is Cool, or just take a breather with friends, these activities are all about giving you space to relax and recharge—while picking up real strategies to support your mental health during finals and beyond. If you’re someone who likes helping others, there are also trainings throughout the month where you can build peer‑support skills and make a positive impact on campus.
