Mental Health Resources
Kappa Alpha Theta aims to increase the dialogue around and support for all aspects of mental health. As an organization, our goals include creating a safe environment for members to discuss mental health issues, encouraging members to recognize when someone might benefit from mental health support, and supporting members facing mental health challenges and conditions.
