By Emotional, Mental, and, Psychological Health Awareness and Support Initiative by Students (EMPHASIS)
This petition is submitted by EMPHASIS, the mental health awareness, advocacy, and action group on campus. We have declined to include two hundred more names signed to a related, but not identical petition. EMPHASIS is an acronym which stands for Emotional, Mental, and Psychological Health Awareness and Support Initiative by Students. We meet Mondays at 8p.m. in the top floor of the Campus Center. Thanks to all who have shown their support.
Recognizing the importance of mental health services to the student body, We, the undersigned, call upon this University to:
1) Reverse the recent decision to reduce student access to mental health counseling
2) On the contrary, increase both service availability and professional staff to meet the needs of the student body.
3) In doing so, join its peer institutions (Amherst, Williams, Trinity) in offering quality health care focused on the need of the student, not a pre-set number of sessions.
