Photo Essay: Fresh Check

Booths included Paint Your Art Out, which emphasized the mental health benefits that go along with making art and being creative; Thrive, which asked students to highlight their “superpowers,” or the things that make them great; and In It for Life, where students could reflect on and share the things that give them hope.

“While suicide prevention and mental health are heavy topics, Fresh Check Day aims to uplift students.”

—Leah Hall, director of wellness education

All of the booths at Fresh Check Day were run by a combination of Clark students and staff members. Each booth had an educational or interactive activity that focused on a specific area of mental wellness.

“It is important for students to know how to care for themselves and others, what resources exist on campus, and who and where they can go for help.”

—Leah Hall, director of wellness education
