May is mental health awareness month. Mental health awareness month focuses on mental health wellbeing, raising awareness, and reducing stigma. Not only is May a time to recognize the Importance of mental health, May can also be a stressful time for students. This is the point of the year where students are wrapping up the year, applying for graduate school, and saying bye to friends for the summer. It is important that you take time to take care of yourself and your mental health. Monmouth College Center of student wellbeing is here for you. Reach out to us to schedule an appointment, find help/resources, or to learn effective coping mechanisms.

Denim Day is an international sexual violence prevention and education campaign held on the last Wednesday of April. Participants wear denim to protest victim-blaming, support survivor, and educate on consent.

Denim Day was inspired by a 1992 ruling by the Italian surpreme court. The justices believed that since the survivor was wearing tight jeans, she must of helped take them off, implying consent. In response, women in the Italian parliament wore jeans in solidarity for the survivor.

This Wednesday 4/29 the peer educators will hold a tabling event located at the Dunlap Terrace 3pm-5pm. There will be denim ribbons, information about denim day, information on help resources, and information about the take back the night event hosted by the Monmouth college office of student-wellbeing scheduled for later in the evening 7p-9p

Would love to see you at both events. Don’t forget to wear denim or stop by the table for a denim ribbon!
