in the university’s application to receive the 2025 Excellence in Mental Health and
Well-Being Award from Insight Into Academia magazine.
Galloway, N.J. — Stockton University recently received, along with 70 other higher education institutions
nationwide, the 2025 Excellence in Mental Health and Well-Being Award from Insight
Into Academia magazine.
The award is a measure of an institution’s individual programs and initiatives that
significantly advance the core values of inclusive excellence and belonging. Stockton
will be featured in the September issue of Insight Into Academia magazine.
“The Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) office at Stockton has always strived
to foster a culture of mental wellness and well-being for students, faculty and staff,”
said Dr. Brooke Zall-Crawford, Stockton’s director of Counseling and Psychological Services. “We are proud to be recognized for our continued commitment to mental health, reducing
stigma and providing preventative programming to increase student success, retention
and a sense of belonging.”
Counseling Services Hosts IMALIVE Mental Health Fair
October 16, 2024
Mental Health Fair, which was hosted in collaboration with the Counseling and Psychological
Services department on Tuesday, Oct. 15.
Galloway, N.J. – As music filled the Campus Center Grand Hall, students gathered in front of the various
tables lining the hallway on Tuesday, Oct. 15.
At first glance, nothing was out of the ordinary, as there’s always a fair with giveaways
happening this time of year.
However, the tables carried more than the standard fare of free pens and stress balls
– students walked away talking about different symptoms of over 20 types of mental
health conditions, or with marker and pen ink all over their hands from writing some
of their deepest and darkest secrets on an anonymous wall.
Some left with brochures full of mental health resources and a raffle ticket that
they earned after visiting every table, while others walked with friends and giggled
about the positive affirmations they came up with as they filled in a canvas full
of others.
This is no regular event — it’s the IMALIVE Mental Health Fair, an initiative that Brooke Zall-Crawford, director of Counseling and Psychological Services, thought would be a perfect way to expose Stockton students to the many different
mental health resources available to them, both on and off campus. With help from
the Karen Alton Mental Health Initiatives Fund, Zall-Crawford and her team of student volunteers hosted this fair in both Galloway
and Atlantic City.
