This $603,408 Project Grant award from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Center for Mental Health Services under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance (CFDA 93.243) program will enable Monmouth College, a private liberal arts university in Illinois, to implement the "SCOTS POW - Prioritizing Our Wellbeing" initiative.

The key objectives of this 3-year project are to: 1) improve student mental and physical health and wellness services, 2) enhance training and awareness for faculty, staff, and students to recognize and support at-risk individuals, 3) strengthen support systems for historically marginalized students, and 4) increase overall student retention and graduation rates. Specific activities include hiring dedicated mental health staff, expanding integrated wellness programming, delivering evidence-based interventions, conducting student mental health screenings, and providing mental health first aid training. The project aims to reach 100% of Monmouth College's 716 students, as well as faculty and staff, through these comprehensive wellbeing initiatives.
