Mental Health Resources
More than 80 percent of college students feel overwhelmed during the academic year, according to statistics from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). Anxiety, depression and other mental illnesses are increasingly common on college campuses—and seeking help when you need it has never been more important.
At UNH, wellness can help you achieve academic and personal success while at school and in your future.
Wellness is the key to many aspects of our overall well-being, including:
- Academic achievement
- Personal growth and confidence
- Career fulfillment
- Social connection within the UNH community
In other words, the better your wellness, the better your ability to thrive at UNH and beyond!
