April showers bring May flowers. May is mental health awareness month and as someone who has experienced the struggles of poor mental health, it was important to me to promote a positive campaign regarding the subject. At the time, I was the Public Relations and Marketing Chair for the Panhellenic Council at the University of South Dakota, this meant that I had a platform that was reaching a large audience of people my age also in Greek Life.

Many college students struggle with mental illness during their time at school and feel lost when thinking about getting help or resources to start healing.

I decided to create an informational social media series about the subject to help college students find somewhere to start. It’s important to take care of your brain this month, and every month.
