Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. There are many different types of mental illness, and it isn\u2019t easy to simplify the range of challenges people face. ASWSUG wants all our students to recognize the signs of mental distress and know that resources are available to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Global Campus Cougs are spread across the world and come from a wide variety of cultures, backgrounds, and lived experiences. Many face unique challenges in their lives that put stress on their mental health as they work towards their academic goals. To help address these complex issues, WSU provides&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/online.wsu.edu\/currentstudent\/mental-health\/\">access to resources<\/a>, including FREE 24\/7 access to virtual care services with <a href=\"https:\/\/online.wsu.edu\/currentstudent\/mental-health\/timelycare\/\">TimelyCare<\/a> to help you along the road to resiliency and mental wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Please note that that ASWSUG is a student-led organization.
