Hey! I’m Lauren Kinchen!

I want to use this blog as an opportunity to speak to my fellow college students who are suffering with mental health or may know someone that struggles with their mental health too!

I hope to spread positivity and encouragement as well as what knowledge I have gained.

I am a senior at Louisiana State University in the Interior Design School, 

for my senior thesis I chose to focus on mental health among college students and ways that aid and ways that hope can be provided to those struggling. So I have been researching mental health and mental illness for quite some time! I want to share some of the things I have learned.

I have witnessed many of my friends suffer with anxiety, depression, and many other mental health disorders upon entering college and feel that the cause is very near and dear to my heart.

I have written posts that will hopefully raise awareness for the brevity and commonality of mental decline in our country, especially among the younger generations and us college students especially.

These writings will give you perspective from one college student to another and will provide information that is easy to understand and not too long winded to read. 

I hope to create a community among fellow college students and breed an understanding of how to intervene and help out one another.
