Who Is Responsible for Addressing Mental Health and Well-Being in Higher Education?

“People look for retreats for themselves, in the country, by the coast, or in the hills . . . There is nowhere that a person can find a more peaceful and trouble-free retreat than in his own mind. . . . So constantly give yourself this retreat, and renew yourself.”

- MARCUS AURELIUS
