Mental Health affects 450 million people worldwide, according to The World Health Organization. By the time students start college, they are more likely to start developing common mental illnesses such as anxiety and depression.

Mental health awareness events such as Embrace the Rain work to end the stigma around mental health and support those who suffer every day. These events debunk stereotypes around certain mental illnesses, like schizophrenia, and draw attention to the reality of living with mental illnesses.
