The Blog

This blog was created with the intention of starting a conversation about mental health and its relevance to students. Its goal is to promote awareness about mental health issues and students’ experiences dealing with them. There are not many blogs which focus on both students and their mental health. This blog will serve as an outlet and source for students to voice their opinions and hear from others. Content will range from from recent news surrounding mental health topics, stories about students’ personal experiences dealing with mental illness, and advice or tips on how to deal with mental health issues while in school.

The Blogger

My name is Alex-Nicole and I’m from Brooklyn, NY. I’m currently a student studying journalism at Baruch College (City University of New York). I created this blog because of my interest in the topic of mental health, and my belief that good mental hygiene is fundamental to succeeding in school — and in life.
