Mental Wellness Resources at GBC

What is Mental Wellness?

The World Health Organization provides a mental wellness definition: "A state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community."

NSHE Campus Safety Survey

As part of ongoing commitment to campus safety, the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) has launched a new system-wide public awareness and safety training campaign through the Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention (TVTP) Grant.

To inform this effort, Behavioral Intervention Teams (BITs) across NSHE are asking faculty, staff, and students to complete a brief, 10-question survey. Your feedback will help shape training materials and ensure our reporting processes are clear and accessible.

The survey takes just a few minutes to complete. Thank you for taking a moment to support a safe and informed GBC community.
