If you experienced a mental health challenge in college, you have an intimate understanding of the difficulties our students are going through. As a mentor, you can help make this process easier for our students by being the confidant and friend that can relate to them in a way that no one else can.
Being a mentor can be very rewarding. It allows you to draw on your experience, share what you have learned, and turn what might have been a great challenge in your life into something positive.
