Aubrie Lambertson, junior nursing student and member of the McQueary College of Health and Human Services Student Mental Health and Inclusivity Leadership Committee, has partnered with the Huntsman Mental Health Anti-Stigma Grand Challenge as the national student advocate.
The goal of the challenge is to remove the stigma from mental health. The challenge also exists to provide education to different organizations on the importance of this topic.
Lambertson will be representing the student population of America. She will travel to speak about the experiences of college students, including the stressors of student life and adult life.
“I am extremely honored and grateful for this opportunity as I get to follow my passion for mental health advocacy,” Lambertson said. “I get to meet so many amazing people and improve my knowledge of the issues at hand so that they can be addressed and improved nationwide and on our campus at Missouri State.”
Lambertson will advocate for the student population to make sure that the anti-stigma grand challenge effectively serves the student population in the most beneficial way.
