Mental Health First Aid & SNAP Application Assistance Training
Looking for something to do after the holidays? This season, we’d like to remind you of two opportunities to help others (and maybe even yourselves). Mental Health First Aid training helps you provide appropriate support to someone who may be struggling with a mental health or substance use problem, and SNAP Application Assistance training teaches you how to help someone apply for SNAP benefits. Both are offered to UMD students for free this winter.

Mental Health Highlight: Free Access to Light (For Shorter Days & Longer Nights)!
Been feeling down this winter? Seasonal affective disorder – often referred to as SAD or “the winter blues” – is pretty common. Luckily, Terps have access to free Light Therapy Devices! Sarah Wilson, Coordinator for Health Promotion & Wellness Services at the University Health Center, is here to tell us more.
