The Wake Forest Student Government is excited to announce the schedule and theme for this year’s Mental Health Week. This year’s theme, Let’s Talk, invites dialogue from all aspects of campus. We’re excited to collaborate with so many offices and student groups within the Wake Forest community and come together to talk about mental health and how we can support our community! If you’re interested in volunteering during this week at any of the events listed below, please contact Meredith Happy (happmp16@wfu.edu) and Jenna Mayer (mayejj17@wfu.edu) for more information!
