Mindful Monday for Sept. 14

Mindful Monday for Sept. 14

Bobcats FIRST Monday September 14, 2026

The Mindful Monday for Sept. 14 reminds us to check in on a friend during National Suicide Prevention Month. Talking to a friend about mental health - whether you're sharing your own struggle or asking about theirs - can be awkward. But it can make all the difference and can even save a life. "Seize the Awkward" encourages all of us to put aside our cringe and our fear and be there for our friends. You don't have to have the perfect thing to say - just saying you care is a great start. Visit seizetheawkward.org for conversation starters, signs to know when help is needed, and strategies to care for your own mental health.

Help us promote a culture of well-being at Georgia College & State University!
