The following graduate students shared their story of resilience and strength in the midst of challenges with mental health:

The Real Stories Of Leaders At Their Best video series began with the goal of reducing the stigma of mental illness on our campus. It is our hope that this video series, produced and edited by the Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS) student group - CAPS In Action - serves to give everyday examples for our campus about how our mental health plays out in our day to day lives.
