The CAPS Ambassadors Program at Purdue University is dedicated to championing mental health awareness and fostering a culture of holistic well-being on campus. Our mission is to empower individuals to prioritize their mental health journey. Through peer support, education, and outreach initiatives, we strive to destigmatize mental health challenges and promote inclusivity, understanding, and self-discovery.
Why does mental health matter to you?
Mental health matters to me because as a future physician, there is no health without mental health. Many college students can struggle with mental health due to the stresses of academic pressure, change, growth, and self-discovery. Prioritizing mental wellness can help change someone’s life for the better.
Why does mental health matter to you?
As someone who has experienced the impact of mental health challenges on both myself and my loved ones, I understand how difficult they can be to overcome. This is why I’m passionate about supporting others on their mental health journeys, helping them find the strength and resources they need to heal and thrive.
