The annual VolAware Stomp Out Stigma Concert and Street Fair are this Tuesday and Wednesday. The events aim to raise awareness for mental health issues on our campus. VolAware is UT's mental health awareness, wellness and suicide prevention campaign.
These events are great programs to bring your residents to!
Stomp Out Stigma begins at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 12, in Presidential Courtyard. Local recording artist JayStorm will perform, and organizations from the UT chapter of the National Pan-Hellenic Council will participate in a "stroll-off competition."
The fair takes place at the U.C. and the U.C. Plaza from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 13, and will give students and the community the chance to meet mental health professionals and learn about services on campus and in the community. Students attending the fair will be given participation certificates that they can use for credit in certain classes. Those who participate in QPR suicide-prevention training and get signatures from visiting a set number of booths will be entered into a drawing for a $500 book loan to the UT Bookstore!
