May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to prioritize well-being, reduce stigma, and remind us that mental health is just as important as physical health. At the University of Houston, we believe in supporting every member of our community—and that’s where Coogs Care comes in.

Coogs Care is more than a motto—it’s a commitment. It’s how we show up for each other, whether through a kind word, a shared resource, or simply checking in. This month, we encourage all A&F staff to take a moment to care for themselves and others.

Here’s how you can get involved:

• Explore UH Resources: From the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to Coogs Care resources, there are tools to support you.
• Wear Green: Show your support by wearing green, the color of mental health awareness.
• Check In: A simple “How are you doing?” can go a long way. Let’s keep the spirit of Coogs Care alive.
