As the new academic year begins, taking a proactive approach to your emotional well-being can set you up for long-term success. September’s Mental Wellness Mondays (MWM) session, "Fall Semester: Emphasizing My Mental Wellness," offers practical and accessible strategies to help you maintain a healthy mindset without eating up your busy workday.

"Approach the fall semester and your mental wellness proactively to set yourself up for success,” says Alex Jendrusina, Ph.D., FASCCO counselor and licensed clinical psychologist. “Join us for actionable, daily strategies—from ways to calm your stress reaction in the moment to planning considerations for self-care and beyond."

Quick, Accessible, and Flexible

Led by Dr. Jendrusina, Mental Wellness Mondays are designed to fit effortlessly into your routine:

• Minimal Time Commitment: Each virtual webinar takes just 15 minutes on the first Monday of the month.

• Easy Registration: You only need to sign up once to receive your monthly calendar invitation.

• No Stress Attendance: Attend whenever your schedule permits—there is no pressure if you have to miss a session.
