Gentle reminder that rest isn't a reward for working hard, it's essential to your well-being. Take the break. Set the boundary. Give yourself permission to recharge.

CCERI had a great time attending the Mental Health America Annual Conference in Washington, D.C.!

We were glad to hear Kristen Chenevert from Citizens Bank talk about the importance of mental health in the workplace. It's great to see these conversations happening and employers recognizing that supporting mental health matters. What an incredible experience!

Mental health challenges can affect educational success at any age and at any stage of learning. While many mental health conditions first emerge during adolescence and young adulthood, students in postsecondary education represent a diverse population—including traditional college students, adult learners, individuals returning to school, and those enrolled in vocational or training programs.
Symptoms such as anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, and other mental health challenges can impact concentration, motivation, attendance, academic performance, and confidence. With the right supports, students can continue pursuing meaningful educational and career goals.
Our Supported Education Workshop Series explores the connection between mental health and education and provides practical strategies for supporting anyone pursuing postsecondary education or training.
💙 Because mental health challenges shouldn’t have to mean putting educational goals on hold.
