Mental Health Awareness
Kent State University’s Center for Public Policy and Health in the College of Public Health was recently awarded $600,000 in grant funding to support the Northeast Ohio Mental Health Awareness Training, a collaborative project that will train teachers and relevant school personnel to connect children and youth in a school setting to appropriate mental health resources.

The Office of the Surgeon General recently released a report on workplace mental health and well-being, and Kent State University was highlighted as a strong example of mental health support.
