  • Improving student access to campus and community mental health resources
  • Providing culturally conscious, readily accessible, and innovative mental health resources for the students at the University of Iowa
  • Collaborating with other mental health support organizations to build culturally sensitive professional psychological support for students
  • Working with University Counseling and Student Wellness
  • Developing a robust peer-driven mental health workforce in the university
  • Providing graduate and professional students' perspectives in campus initiatives

 

GPSG's Mental Health Committee envisions a university campus that holistically offers mental health support to its students and strives to establish a greater sense of well-being and belonging in terms of personal, professional, and academic achievement.
