Global Mental Health

How do we work together to ensure mental health for all - locally and globally?

Working together to reimagine a world where communities thrive means paying attention to mental health. This LLC draws on global mental health perspectives to support students to build the knowledge and skills needed to collaborate and advocate for mental health initiatives – locally and globally.  

DU's Global Mental Health LLC offers a unique, residential experience that unites students of diverse backgrounds and internationally-oriented goals. Students explore current global issues and emerging social concerns through a combination of seminar courses, community-based service opportunities, and extra-curricular activities.

What is your favorite LLC memory? 

My favorite LLC memory is our fall retreat! I had so much fun going into the mountains and getting to bond with the other members of the LLC. 

What else are you involved with on campus? 

I currently serve as Director of Career and Personal Development and Director of Campus Activities for Chi Omega, and as the Senior Vice President for Delta Sigma Pi. 

Why did you choose to apply to the International LLC? 

I chose to apply to the International LLC in order to broaden my view of the world and deepen my understanding of the cultures around me. Additionally, I applied because the LLC offers an amazing community of students, which can make being a first-year a lot less scary.
