The Student Mental Health Initiative project aims to attain more funding, better resources, and stronger awareness for the Salisbury University Counseling Center. Mental Health, both nationally and on the Eastern Shore, is highly neglected and resources are few and far between. Although the staff at the university's counseling center work with the budget they are allotted, they still currently lack many of the same resources that other University System of Maryland Schools have. My goal is to expand the reach of mental health awareness and services across the campus community and eventually across the Eastern Shore.

Throughout the fall semester, I aim to work closely with my teammates, the administration, and the counseling center staff to ensure at least 3 events take place, a psychiatrist is put on the staff, and support groups and resources are instated and maintained. I hope to have 3 surveys sent across the campus to see where the student body is in regards to information and awareness of the counseling center.
