October is National Depression Education and Awareness Month.

Depression can look different and can affect anyone.

It is important that we are all able to notice the signs and connect others or ourselves with the appropriate help and care.

Two examples of positive habits are getting sunlight and moving your body which can help your mood, cognitive function, and your body. ✨

This mindful Monday I want us to all check in with ourselves and be mindful of where we may need a little more self care.

Take an inventory and wherever you see you may need some rest or extra care make sure you do! 💚

It's Wellness Wednesday! ✨

Progressive muscle relaxation is a technique where you tense and then release different muscles in a sequence.

It can reduce stress hormones, improve sleep quality, and help with pain by reducing muscle tension. 💚

Why Counseling?

Mental health counseling is a unique relationship in which a therapist walks beside you, listens to your story without judgement, and offers tailored support.

Sometimes counseling may be short. It may help you to learn concrete skills to improve relationships, reduce stress, increase productivity or to improve other symptoms that have a negative impact on your life. Counseling can also give support during a challenging transition or life event. Sometimes counseling is longer term, and we may work together to improve a specific disorder, trauma, or targeted area in your life.

Whatever reason you have to seek counseling, we are here for you, UAB students!

UAB Student Counseling Services offers students of all backgrounds, races, religious beliefs, sexual orientations, gender identities, abilities, ethnicities, and cultures a safe place to discuss and resolve issues that interfere with personal and academic goals.
