Happy Father’s Day to the fathers, father figures, bonus dads, mentors, and caregivers who help shape our lives with love, guidance, and support. Today, we also hold space for those who are remembering a dad, missing a loved one, or navigating complicated emotions. Whatever this day means for you, your feelings are valid. 💙

This week has been difficult for many members of our campus community. As we head into the weekend, we encourage you to take care of yourself and extend compassion to those around you.

There is no right way to process loss, uncertainty, or difficult news. Whatever you’re feeling, know that support is available.

Students can contact the Center for Counseling and Psychological Services at 305-899-3950 or [email protected] to schedule an appointment. Virtual and in-person sessions are available.

💙 You are not alone.

Grief can affect each of us differently. You may experience sadness, anger, confusion, numbness, or a mix of emotions. Whatever you are feeling, know that your reaction is valid.

During difficult times, remember to be gentle with yourself, stay connected to supportive people, and prioritize your well-being. Healing is not a linear process, and there is no timeline for grief.

If you are struggling, you do not have to navigate it alone. Support is available.

Mental health matters for everyone. Yet many men are less likely to seek support due to stigma, societal expectations, or concerns about appearing vulnerable. The truth is that reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

This month, we encourage our Barry community to:
✔️ Talk about how you’re feeling
✔️ Connect with someone you trust
✔️ Prioritize your mental and physical well-being
✔️ Take small steps toward positive change

You are not alone, and support is available.

📍 The Barry University Counseling Center is open throughout the summer, and students enrolled in summer classes are eligible to receive counseling services.

📞 Call 305-899-3950 to schedule an initial consultation.

Today is such a special day as we celebrate Sarah Darby,
our incredible graduate assistant. 🎓 Watching her grow this year, support students with such care, and become such an important part of our team has been truly meaningful. Through her outreach efforts, compassion, and dedication to student well-being, she has made a lasting impact on our campus community. We are so proud of all she has accomplished and so excited to see her continue pursuing her dreams as she begins her PhD journey this fall at Texas Christian University. She is going to do amazing things! 💚

We are also deeply grateful to the Rohan Family Mental Health Wellness Fund, whose generous support helped make this graduate assistant position possible and allowed us to continue investing in student mental health.
