RUOK? Day, Marion Campus
The main focus of RUOK? Day is to break down stigma related to mental health and prevent suicide. There are many resources available for students regarding all kinds of problems – no one should suffer in silence. Student organizations and community partners will be present to engage students to share information related facts, resource information and ways for each of us to play a supportive role. It is a fair-like event with activities, music, refreshments and lots of giveaways.
