Fresh Check Day, an uplifting mental health promotion and suicide prevention event, will be hosted at Salve Regina on Thursday, Sept. 26. Interactive expo booths, peer-to-peer messaging, refreshments, entertainment and giveaways will be available from noon to 3 p.m. on the Gerety Hall lawn.

The signature program of the Jordon Porco Foundation, Fresh Check Day aims to create an approachable atmosphere in which students can engage in dialogue about mental health, and to build a bridge between students and the mental health resources available on campus, in the community and nationally.

Participating offices and student organizations include:

  • Alliance
  • Black Student Union
  • Campus Activities Board
  • Counseling Services
  • Dialogue
  • EMT Club
  • Female Empowerment Organization
  • Multicultural Student Organization
  • Resident Advisors
  • ROTC
  • Salve SAVES
  • Seahawk Radio
  • Student-Athlete Advisory Committee
  • Student Education Association
  • Student Government Association

The Championship Melt food truck will be on hand from 12:30-2:30 p.m. Raffle prizes include Google Play, yoga mats, a TV and more.

Fresh Check Day’s primary goals are to:

  • Increase awareness of mental health resources available to students
  • Reduce stigma and misconceptions around mental health and suicide that often deter individuals from seeking help
  • Empower peers to be gatekeepers by understanding warning signs and knowing what to do if a friend is exhibiting signs of suicide or a mental health concern
  • Increase willingness to ask for help if experiencing emotional distress
