Hey guys my name is Taylor Wesley! I am beyond excited to have this opportunity to share my platform because it is not only something I am passionate about, but it is a part of who I am.  During the beginning of college I struggled with mental health.  It wasn’t until I finally reached out for help that I realized I was not alone. Statistically, 1 in 4 students at Auburn struggle with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and eating disorders. There is a stigma attached to struggling with any of these issues, and I want to break the cycle because it could be holding students back from receiving the help that they need. The vision of my platform, “Spread Wellness with Wesley” is to bring the Auburn campus together to not just raise awareness for mental health, but to foster a community that promotes a greater sense of Wellness.   What is so unique about this platform is that we are getting the chance to make an immediate impact on our campus.  There was a waiting list of a shocking 300 students for Student Counseling this past year and the Health Promotion and Wellness Services provides various clubs and support groups for mental health that need funding.  My goal is to raise money for the mental health resources that Auburn provides in order to support the thousands of students that struggle just like I did.
