Stick with It, Stick Together

Each year, as we approach the end of spring quarter and recognize Mental Health Awareness Month, LiveWell and our university partners present the “Stick with It, Stick Together” campaign.

This campaign is designed to cultivate a sense of connection, support, and resilience. Through interactive sticky note stations placed across campus, all UW community members are invited to leave messages of encouragement, positivity, and hope. These messages serve as powerful reminders that we are not alone, it’s okay to ask for help, and that every one of us matters.

Why “Stick with It, Stick Together”?

• Stick with It: A reminder to practice resilience, foster hope, and seek support when need for mental health, especially when facing life’s challenges.
• Stick Together: Highlights the strength found in community and the importance of mutual support in maintaining mental wellness.

Goals

• Cultivate connection: Strengthen community ties by encouraging open dialogue and visible support.
• Support community: Offer information about accessible mental health resources and build an environment of care.
• Foster hope: Remind each other of our collective strength and the importance of supporting one another, especially during challenging times.

How it works

• Sticky note stations: Share and read uplifting messages at interactive stations located around campus. Informational brochures, cards, and handouts about mental health resources will also be available at the stations.
• Tabling and resources: Visit our informational tables to access information about mental health resources, learn more about mental health, and strategies to build community.
• Online engagement: Follow LiveWell on Instagram for helpful facts, inspiring messages, and ways to cultivate mental wellness.
