Mental Health Ally Project

The Mental Health Ally project is a Texas A&M San Antonio program to facilitate conversations about mental health with college students. Increasing mental health awareness on campus can ensure that students can become knowledgeable of the resources to meet their needs, support their continued development while enrolled, and create an environment where students feel confident to discuss their mental health concerns together. The goal is to empower our students to continue the conversation about mental health in their classes and organizations.
