The JED coalition is dedicated to creating a campus that has an open dialogue about mental health and exploring ways to utilize the amazing resources and minds across our campus.
The JED Coalition says Thank You to the IC Community!
By Brittany Watros, December 10, 2021
The JED Coalition wants to thank the campus community for making the first Stop and Breathe Week at Ithaca College a success.
During Stop and Breathe Week the Ithaca College community came together to offer many opportunities for students, staff, and faculty to take a breath and a moment for their mental health.
While this week was cut short, we are still proud of all the amazing programming you all offered. Student organizations, departments, and campus committees offered everything from music to meditation and yoga, even craft events and free treats. We are thankful for everyone coming together, to make sure that the week before finals could be a little less overwhelming, for all.
Keep your eye out for more programming, from JED and our campus partners, in the spring. We look forward to another Stop and Breathe Week with everyone in May.
Even during the break, life can bring different levels of stress for everyone. Some people may find it relaxing to be home, while others may be filled with more anxieties and challenges.
What can you do during finals week and during the break to keep on track with a healthy mind? Here is a list of suggestions:
