Fresh Check Day, a nationwide initiative focused on suicide prevention and mental health awareness, made its UWO debut with interactive booths, student-led outreach, and creative activities designed to spark connection and conversation. The event aimed to engage students in meaningful discussions about mental health and provide resources to support their well-being.
Participants were welcomed to a vibrant atmosphere filled with various activities, including stress-relief stations, art projects, and informative sessions led by mental health professionals. The initiative emphasizes the importance of peer support and encourages students to open up about their mental health experiences.
By fostering a sense of community, Fresh Check Day strives to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health issues and promote a culture of understanding and empathy. The event not only raises awareness about mental health resources available on campus but also empowers students to take charge of their well-being and support one another.
