Student Support Groups

Students Supporting Students

Students can be a tremendous support to other students when it comes to issues of mental health and wellness. Over time, various student groups have formed on campus to work on these issues. If you're interested in joining or starting such a group, contact the SGA Student Services Coordinator.

Nationally, there is a group that provides support for students to assist other students around these issues -- http://www.activemindsoncampus.org/. Grinnell has a very active chapter, with many students involved. To reach someone from that group to learn about their activities, events, and meetings, email [GCminds].

Of course, if you are concerned about yourself or a friend, you can call Poweshiek County Mental Health Center 24 hours daily (641-236-6137).
