Make It OK is a community campaign aimed at reducing stigma around mental health. In conjunction with Mental Health Awareness Month, the Iowa State University community is invited to wear green on Thursday, May 14 to show support for mental health and help raise awareness, support initiatives, and reduce stigma associated with mental illness.
The April Cyclones Kudos Cart was awarded to the Office of the Vice President for Research. That office was selected by the previous month’s cart recipient, the Office of University Counsel, who commented that “the OVPR Compliance Office expertly leads the way in navigating an increasingly complex research environment with professionalism, pragmatism, and a smile.”
For the third year in a row, Iowa State University has been awarded a Platinum Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health by Mental Health America (MHA). The Bell Seal is a first-of-its-kind workplace mental health certification recognizing employers striving to create mentally healthy workplaces for their employees. MHA is the nation’s leading community-based nonprofit dedicated to promoting mental health, well-being, and illness prevention for all.
