Miami Dade College is deeply committed to supporting student mental health and well-being year-round. In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month 2025, we are proud to offer a series of events, workshops, and resources that promote resilience, reduce stigma, and empower students to care for themselves and others. This year's observance emphasizes the importance of connection, self-awareness, and early intervention, reminding our Shark family that mental health is just as vital as physical health.
We invite you to join us for these upcoming mental health wellness events.
