Mental Illness/Mental Health Awareness
I am just curious as to how aware undergrads in particular are to mental illness/mental health issues? The reason I ask is another thread (the psycho/stalker PNM one) got me to thinking about when I was in undergrad and how we really (unless personally affected by family/friend) had no knowledge on dealing with say, a fellow sister who may be affected by these issues. Also I am wondering how receptive undergrads would be in addressing an issue such as mental illness? Have any alums done any work in this area with a particular chapter you may advise? What about on a national level? Just opening up a hopefully interesting, non-confrontational discussion with hopes of us learning from each other about very serious matters that are often thought of as "embarrassing" or "swept under the rug"...........
