"Blue Monday" has arrived. This day gets its name for being considered the most depressing day of the year and usually lands on the third Monday of January. With the increased darkness of winter, shorter days and the stress of starting a new study term, the University of Waterloo is focusing on sharing student mental health and well-being supports. Blue Monday also provides an opportunity to bring mental health conversations front and center to reduce the stigma associated with mental health and ensure that access to supports and resources are made easier.
