Mental Health Resources
We are all challenged these days to stay focused and be hopeful. We can meet these challenges by taking steps to create positive mental health.
Here are a variety of resources you can use to support your mental health.
If you know someone who is struggling, here’s a step-by-step guide about how to help.

Resilience is the ability to successfully adapt to stressors and adversity. It’s the ability to “bounce back” and grow from difficult experiences.
Everyone faces challenges to well-being and thriving throughout their lives, and college can be a particularly stressful time.

WSU Counseling Services does provide one-on-one counseling sessions, but we are not able to provide services long-term.
There are many counselors in the Winona area who can help support your mental health needs. Please note this list is not exhaustive. Counseling also can be found using the resource, www.psychologytoday.com.
