Mental Health Counselor at Health and Wellness Services Patrick McGinnis talks with students at the Love Your Selfie table. \u201cEvents like these are really important,\u201d McGinnis said. \u201cWe\u2019re out here taking Polaroid pictures and just having conversations with students and making sure they\u2019re aware of all our services.\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Assistant Professor of Leadership Programs Lori Kniffin poses with a stuffed tiger. Kniffin is glad to see events like these on campus. \u201cI just think it\u2019s really great that talking about health and wellness is becoming more normalized and popular and I hope students take advantage of the resources we have here.\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wearing her gold Fort Hays hoodie, student Alyna Chavez stands next to the stuffed tiger to take a picture. \u201cI like stopping at tables like this in the quad,\u201d Chavez. \u201cThey\u2019re fun.\u201d\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

(From left to right) Students Chavez, Skyler Rodriguez and Kiearra Gonzalez look through stickers on the Health and Wellness table. \u201cThe stickers have been a big hit,\u201d Smith said. \n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Rodriguez and Gonzales hold up an FHSU frame. \u201cI think this is a really good event for people to get involved in and be aware of mental health because it\u2019s an important topic that everyone should know about,\u201d Gonzalez said. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Striking a pensive pose, Nathan Rosas prepares to have his Polaroid picture taken. \u201cHonestly, it\u2019s pretty nifty,\u201d Rosas said. \u201cI like the stickers, I like the Polaroid pictures, overall it\u2019s a good vibe here.\u201d \n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Smith and McGinnis interact with students at the table. \u201cI think it\u2019s really important to promote self-love and self-care for students because I think a lot of the time, we kind of focus on other people and don\u2019t really work on ourselves as much as we should,\u201d Smith said. \u201cCaring for yourself is a big part of mental health.\u201d\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Leadership 310 students Kayla Brannic, Raina Bates, Chris Weber and Ryan Will, sit on a couch for their picture. These students were tabling with Breathe Coffee House to promote the \u201cCan We Just Talk\u201d events hosted every other Thursday night. \u201cSleep is really important and so we\u2019re talking about sleep and how that impacts our health this week,\u201d Will said. \n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

McGinnis holds the stuffed tiger behind Bates and Brannic while they take their picture. McGinnis founded Breathe, so in addition to helping at the Health and Wellness table, he also coordinated with the Leadership 310 class to set up their table. \u201cIt worked out really well to have them both here on the quad at the same time,\u201d McGinnis said. \n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
