By Scott Talarico

The past few years have been tough for college students, especially with classes going online because of lockdowns. It’s been hard for students to find their communities and cope with the mental health effects of the pandemic. Now that campuses are opening up and students are moving into their dorms, it may be a relief for many, but it can still be a struggle for some.

6 Great Mental Health and Wellness Programs

May 4, 2022

By Scott Talarico

May is Mental Heath Awareness Month and we would like to share some ideas to help take a breath, relax and stay healthy. Take some time to listen to some calming live music and practice some Yoga with Shanice Green to help improve heart health, get better sleep and gain body strength. Ease some built up stress and boost feelings of relaxation with the benefits of aromatherapy by making your own aromatherapy rollers.

Bazooka Ball

“Yes, last-minute we had to change location due to their being confusion with reservations, facilities, and the campus police. It ended up working out though as the change of location ended up being better for Jay and the setup with electricity being right there and not having to be setup. Those who played seemed to thoroughly enjoy the game, and we want to thank you for all of your help and assistance through the booking process. We look forward to continuing working with you throughout the rest of this semester and those to come. “

Will Jay

“Everything was wonderful with Will Jay. He was easy to work with during the event and our students truly loved having him – I have already received requests to bring him to campus when we are allowed to do face to face events again. Here is what one person text me after the event, “I hope you can tell Will Jay how powerful it was, I’m talking to so many people about it and they all loved it and were touched by his songs and words”. There were multiple messages in the chat during the event last night talking about how amazing his lyrics were, his voice, most importantly students were able to relate in to the messages he was talking and singing about. I think Will Jay has a new fan base here at CMU and they are going to consume the music he has out now – and are eagerly anticipating what he has in store.”

Maximize Your Buzz

“You [Max Buzz] made an impact on my decisions. That night I planned to go to a birthday party, and I was excited to drink with all my friends. However, after going to the program, I didn’t want to drink anymore. I just wanted to hang out with my friends, and remember the night rather than waking up the next morning wondering how I got home. So I know you don’t know me personally, but I thought you should know that you made a difference.”

— Brittney Gilman, University of New Hampshire, Student

Campus Feud

“I just wanted to get back to your email and let you know about how the event went. You guys were a pleasure to work with, as was Keith. He was an awesome host, very good with getting the students to get in teams and was very organized. He also went at a great pace, since we did have a larger turn out, he was very good about getting everyone involved and made sure everyone that wanted to play, could. Thank you guys so much for teaming up with us for this event. Have a great weekend. “

— Jerika, Washington State University

Brian Ledbetter

“Brian Ledbetter is a class above when it comes to entertainment! My students were in awe of his feats of mentalism and they were amazed at the interaction he shared with them. I would highly recommend Brian [Ledbetter] for any college looking for a great programming opportunity. His show is humorous, mesmerizing and incredibly entertaining! My students were left wanting more and they can’t wait to have Brian [Ledbetter] back on campus soon!”
