A little something to dwell on as the last month of the semester approaches. With the swell of midterms, finals, final projects, and internship deadlines, don't forget to practice self-care. Eat well, sleep well, nap and take Netflix breaks! And don't forget that Peer for You is always here for you.

Busy little blue devils At the end of the day, Duke cannot be characterized or stereotyped as a school full of students who are wired to work hard and grind all day, and we should not advocate for students to be wired in such a way.  

Duke is hard, let's talk about it

Join a group of students dedicated to supporting peers, demystifying ~effortless perfection~ and promoting wellbeing and self-care on campus.

APPLICATIONS CLOSE TOMORROW AT MIDNIGHT

***Content warning: the following contains language regarding su***de and mental illness that may be triggering***
In the past few months, the students of Duke NAMI, Peer for You, Asian Students Association (ASA) have been putting together a screening of “Looking for Luke,” which has been confirmed for Griffith Film Theater (in Bryan Center) on March 8 at 7:30pm.
The 20-minute documentary tells the story of Luke Tang, a Harvard sophomore who died by su***de three years ago. Produced by the Clay Center at MGH, the film follows his parents as they grapple with his depression as a mental illness. They've made it their mission to help other parents, particularly Asian parents, identify and understand the signs and signals of depression and other behavioral health disorders that can lead to su***de. The film hopes to extend that mission by raising awareness of depression as an illness and destigmatizing seeking help for mental health issues, two topics of incredible relevance and concern today at college campuses across the country.

The screening at Griffith will be open to the entire Duke community, including undergraduates and grad students. The film will be followed by small group discussions.
Please RSVP at https://www.facebook.com/events/396126127514936
And please do share this widely - it is a topic that should engage as many people as possible.
