Prioritizing Mental Health & Well-Being

Eastern Cares

What is Eastern Cares?

Eastern Cares is an initiative at 51ĀŅĀ× Eastern designed to support students' mental health and well-being. College can be challengingā€”especially for first-generation students, who make up over 51% of our student body. Balancing academics, social life, and work can take a toll, and accessing mental health care in Southeastern Ohio can be difficult due to limited services and long wait times.

Eastern Cares bridges the gap by providing accessible, stigma-free support, fostering open conversations, and ensuring students get the help they need to succeed.

Our Mission

Eastern Cares is committed to:
āœ… Expanding mental health resources for students
āœ… Reducing stigma around seeking help
āœ… Creating a supportive and inclusive campus environment
āœ… Connecting students with professional counseling and crisis support
