Santa Fe College Admissions

Today is World Mental Health Day, and this year's theme is "Mental Health Is a Universal Human Right."

What better day to launch our new Mind Body Life at Santa Fe College mental health campaign? Be sure to click on the campaign page and follow along for great advice on improving your mental and physical wellbeing or checkout resources on the website, https://ow.ly/gATy50PVbMu.

The Mind Body Life project was created with funding obtained by SF in collaboration with the CDC and the Florida Department of Health (DOH).

The Mind Body Life website is designed specifically for college students to address their unique mental health challenges in school and to remove common barriers preventing them from seeking or receiving care.

The goal of the website, social media posts, and other aspects of this broad initiative is to provide engaging and educational information that lowers the stigma around mental health by discussing the connection between mind, body, and life—and to promote access to local campus care and mental health services.

Anytime—day or night—help is just a click away. 💚

As a reminder, Santa Fe College students can reach the campus Counseling Center by emailing [email protected] or calling 352-395-5508. Student Life
