Healthy Minds Survey Launches at Pacific Next Thursday!

We need your help!

 

The Mental Health Promotion Working Group is seeking partners at Pacific to help our efforts to spread the upcoming Healthy Minds Survey as widely as possible. The Survey is relaunching this November! We value you as an advocate for student wellbeing across our campuses and are asking for your support in implementation.

 
This study will be distributed to all Pacific students starting Thursday, November 12th via email and will be from healthyminds-pacificu@umich.edu and, new this year, is also accessible via QR code. Students can scan the survey QR code, input their Pacific email, and then be forwarded to the anonymous survey. The survey will close on December 8th.
 
Professors and staff are able to provide time for survey completion (with an average time of 20 minutes to finish) but cannot provide extra credit or otherwise require completion. Students who complete the survey are entered into a national raffle with prizes up to $250 and a separate raffle just for Pacific Students with $50 and $25 Visa Giftcards. Please access the linked flyers below and help us spread the word!
