The mission of the Mental Health Advocacy Nursing Student Association (MHANSA) is to empower nursing students to be responsible for their holistic health and well-being with a focus on their mental health in order to serve as role models in their communities. Some activities that we like to coordinate are a career panel with psychiatric nurses, a seminar discussing the relationship between nutrition and mental health, a workshop on deep breathing and other self-meditation exercises, and a roundtable discussion on therapeutic communication across diverse communities.
Membership in all student organizations at NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing is open to all NYU Meyers students.
