The stig­ma of men­tal health issues being non-exis­tent and some­thing a per­son has to deal with on their own is being erased. Mil­len­ni­als feel more com­fort­able than ever seek­ing help for any issue they might be having.

The pur­pose of this web­site is to high­light the increase in demand by col­lege stu­dents for men­tal health ser­vice at UConn and the Uni­ver­si­ty’s  response.
