June is Men’s Mental Health Month — a time to break the silence and challenge the stigma. Men are often less likely to seek help for mental health struggles due to societal expectations, fear of judgment, or lack of accessible resources. But mental health is health, and seeking support is a sign of strength—not weakness. ✅ If you or someone you know is struggling: 📞 Call or text 988 – the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available 24/7. 🌐 Visit headsupguys.org – a trusted resource specifically designed to support men’s mental health. Let’s continue working toward a world where everyone feels safe and supported in prioritizing their mental well-being. #MensMentalHealthMonth #MentalHealthAwareness #988Lifeline #HeadsUpGuys #FreshCheckDay #JordanPorcoFoundation #MentalHealthMatters

“In the moments when you’re feeling most alone, please remember: you matter, you are not forgotten, and you are deeply cared for.” This message was shared by a courageous participant at the Inspiring Hope: Coming Together for Suicide Prevention Conference held in Connecticut this past May. As we continue our work in mental health awareness and suicide prevention, we’re reminded that small moments of connection can make a lasting impact. Creating space for honest conversations—like those shared at this conference—helps reduce stigma and reminds others they are not alone. If you or someone you know is struggling, help is always available. Call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — free, confidential support, 24/7. Let’s keep showing up for each other. #MentalHealthMatters #SuicidePrevention #FreshCheckDay #JordanPorcoFoundation #InspiringHope #YouAreNotAlone #EndTheStigma #988Lifeline #HigherEd #StudentWellness

🌈 Celebrating Pride Month with Fresh Check Day 🌈 At the Jordan Porco Foundation, we believe mental health advocacy must include spaces that affirm and uplift all identities. Through Fresh Check Day’s Be Yourself booth, we aim to support LGBTQIA+ students by fostering connection, visibility, and belonging on college campuses across the country. This Pride Month, we're proud to stand in solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ community—because identity matters, mental health matters, and every student deserves to feel seen and supported. Interested in bringing Fresh Check Day to your campus this fall? Now is the perfect time to plan ahead. #PrideMonth #FreshCheckDay #JordanPorcoFoundation #LGBTQIA #MentalHealthAwareness #BeYourselfBooth #CampusWellness #HigherEd #Fall2025Planning #YouBelongHere #SuicidePrevention #StudentMentalHealth

Mental health shouldn’t be the elephant in the room—especially on campus. Fresh Check Day’s Elephant in the Room booth invites students to name what’s often left unsaid and break down the stigma surrounding mental health. It's one of many interactive booths designed to foster peer support and build a culture of openness and connection. Looking for a powerful way to welcome students back next fall? Now is the perfect time to start planning your Fall 2025 Fresh Check Day event. Registration is open—and we’re here to help you bring it to life. Let’s make space for real talk this upcoming school year. ➡ Learn more and register: https://freshcheckday.com/ #FreshCheckDay #MentalHealthOnCampus #Fall2025Planning #StudentWellness #HigherEd #EndTheStigma #SuicidePrevention
