Dear Students,
As we observe Mental Health Awareness week, we invite you to participate in our Kognito educational program. This interactive program includes exercises that can help you be more comfortable and effective when speaking with someone who may be struggling with a mental health concern, and to help them connect with helpful resources.
As an incentive, even if you have completed this program in the past, students who complete the Kognito program this week will be eligible to be randomly selected to win one of the following prizes from the President's Office:
- AirPods Pro
- JBL Flip 5 portable speaker
- Instax Camera + film
- $100 Patagonia gift card
- $100 Tufts Bookstore gift car
All students across all campuses are eligible.
Since July 2020, when we introduced the program, hundreds of staff, faculty, and students have participated and found it very useful. One of the recommendations of the President’s Mental Health Task Force was for our entire community to better understand student mental health concerns, and to develop the skills to effectively respond to these. Tufts acquired Kognito in response to this recommendation.
