The Henningson Memorial Campanile

As we are faced with challenges, whether they be personal, professional, social, or economic, it can oftentimes feel like we are alone or that we lack the resources to deal with feelings of stress, anxiety, fear, and overall wellness.

This is why, throughout the year, the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) reminds the UNO community about important resources for students, faculty, and staff. We encourage Mavericks to "Connect. Take Care. Get Help" when they need support.

If you, or someone you know, is looking for support or ways to share their thoughts, feelings, and questions, the UNO campus community stands ready to help. Do not hesitate to reach out to any of the following campus resources, if needed.
