Our mental health and well-being strategy
UM's strategic plan, MOMENTUM: Leading Change Together, identifies well-being as a core value and emphasizes that growth and academic success is advanced by an environment of respect, compassion, and support.
To advance the well-being of the community, UM established a Mental Health and Well-being Task Force. The Task Force met between Spring 2024 and Summer 2025 to identify present-day opportunities and challenges, building upon previous mental health and wellness initiatives.
The Task Force submitted its final report in Summer 2025, proposing actions to advance health and wellness for the UM community. Recommendations are currently being prioritized and will be incorporated into the MOMENTUM implementation process.
