Wellness Club was created to foster community, provide mental health information, and end the stigma surrounding mental health. This club is available to all persons at Dakota County Technical College.
Club Goals:
Creating a Community
We would like to create a positive, loving, and supportive community of individuals that can have difficult conversations with each other surrounding mental health
The pandemic has caused many people to feel isolated and lonely; we want our club community to be a place where anybody can come and feel connected and loved by others
Providing Mental Health Information
We will provide resources, information, and experience in how to get help and what steps to take, both for yourself and for others
Ending the Stigma Surrounding Mental Health
There can be a stigma that if you seek help for your mental health, it means something is wrong with you or you're not normal. This is a big reason why about 50% of mental health issues go untreated
We aim to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health so that preventing and limiting mental health issues is seen as just as important as preventing and limiting physical health issues
