We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us at the Mental Health Awareness Talk held last June 30, 2025, at the Sports Palace. Organized by the UNC Health Services Department, this event was more than just a gathering โ it was a step forward in fostering a culture of empathy, openness, and support within our community. ๐
Our guest speaker, Dr. Marylendra A. Penetrante, delivered an insightful and empowering talk that resonated deeply with students and employees alike. Her message reminded us that mental health is not a weakness, but a vital part of our overall well-being, equally important as our physical health. She addressed real-life challenges, shared coping strategies, and encouraged everyone to speak up, seek help, and support one another.
The session was filled with thoughtful conversations, moments of reflection, and a renewed commitment to break the stigma surrounding mental health. ๐โจ
We are proud to see the UNC community come together to learn, listen, and grow. Let this be a reminder that you are not alone, and that reaching out is a sign of strength.
๐ Letโs continue to prioritize mental wellness โ in ourselves, in our families, in our campus.
Together, we can build a more compassionate, understanding, and mentally healthy community.
