What a week. 🌈

Su***de Prevention Week at UConn Hartford brought together more than 175 students for a week of connection, community, reflection, and hope. We hosted our first-ever SHaW sponsored mental health panel on campus, bathed in the forest with Nona, connected with SHaW staff all while sharing resources, and creating space for honest conversations about mental health and healing. Every event added a different color to the rainbow, reminding us that support can look different, healing can look different, and sometimes simply showing up for one another is part of the work. Thank you to every student, staff member, panelist, and partner who helped us fill the week with color. 🌈💛
