College Mental Health

Melissa Oleshansky, PhD, RYT, gives advice on how to protect your mental health at college. She cautions against confusing overachievement with wellbeing as saying yes to everything can leave you depleted. Know when to slow down, create space to think and feel, build in daily movement and fresh air, or call someone. Reach out early - asking for help from a therapist, friend, or family is not a weakness, it's emotional intelligence. You are worth taking of.
