Abstract

It was examined if there are any stereotypes or stigma on the Lindenwood University campus by handing out fliers and emailing the link to both students and faculty and having them take an online survey through survey gizmo. Mental illness can be extremely difficult to live with, especially in school at in the work place, so my aim is to find out if any stigma exists on Lindenwood campus and how I can help make the lives of struggling students and faculty easier. When looking at the preliminary results, based on 80 out of a total of 100 participants, it was found that there is a low amount of stigma on campus, however students have a lot of great ideas of how to make the lives of students easier. Suggestions that were given involved making the student counseling center easier to find and advertising the center better so that more people are aware of it.
