Flourish Beyond May
Our “Flourish Together” movement does not stop after just one month. This is an ongoing journey and we hope that our month of mental health activities with our campus partners and the work we continue to do through The Flourish will help our Stanford community find flourishing beyond May. Our goal is to continue to introduce the support and resources to help kick-start your flourishing for the future!
