Certified sex therapist Casey Tanner, who specializes in sexuality among Gen Z and millennials, met with Student Life editors Zach Trabitz and Aliza Lubitz to discuss sex and relationships during the college years. 

The Green Bandana Project, a new student-led initiative that aims to prevent suicide by promoting help-seeking behavior and increasing awareness of mental health resources at WashU, was launched, Feb. 28. 

The anonymous instagram account @stillwaiting_washu, which provides a platform for students to anonymously share their negative experiences with the University’s mental health services, has spent the last two months raising awareness of inadequate mental health resources and calling for change.

It is nearly impossible to get adequate mental health care at Habif.

Since I was a kid, therapy has always been an important part of my life. My family went through a slew of problems when I was in middle school and high school, and my therapist Alyssa is one of the reasons I’m here today. When I came to college, I had to say goodbye to my weekly sessions with Alyssa, but I was excited that my university had free therapy sessions available at Student Health Services whenever I needed them. I quickly found that booking a therapy appointment at Washington University is not as easy as they make it seem.

Whether it be because of financial burden, social stigma or any other reason, seeking out professional help presets a major barrier for many suffering from mental health issues.
