This article describes an ongoing initiative of the Department of Chemistry (Chem. Dept.) at the University of Minnesota (UMN) to support the mental health of graduate students. With the increasing pressure on students to carry out novel research, publish articles, learn a broad range of skills, and look for career opportunities, the levels of stress, anxiety, and depression among graduate students are on the rise. For tackling these issues, the UMN Chem. Dept. has adopted an approach that heavily relies on the involvement of graduate students and student empowerment. This contribution describes the results of a collaboration between a student group (Community of Chemistry Graduate Students, CCGS), the director of graduate studies of the Chem. Dept., and mental health professionals at the UMN campus health service, to provide strategies for ensuring a welcoming and productive departmental climate. It describes the events that CCGS has hosted to help to improve the mental health of students, and raise awareness and stimulate open discussions about this topic. As an early intervention strategy, the UMN Chem. Dept. revised several policies to ensure that students receive frequent feedback from their advisors. Through the collaboration of the CCGS, UMN Chem. Dept., and UMN campus health service, a survey for the evaluation of mental health and stress factors in graduate studies was developed. Findings of the survey attest to the stigma associated with mental health, as more than 40% of the graduate students responded that they did not consider consulting with a therapist, counselor, or physician even when they felt that their health was affected by the level of stress in their lives. The results also show the importance of an open and friendly environment for students who struggle with stress and mental health, as they were most likely to approach a friend rather than advisor, counselor, or physician.

研究生院的压力与心理健康：赋予学生权力如何带来持久的变化
本文介绍了明尼苏达大学（UMN）化学系（化学系）正在进行的一项举措，以支持研究生的心理健康。随着学生进行新颖研究，发表文章，学习各种技能以及寻找职业机会的压力越来越大，研究生中的压力，焦虑和沮丧情绪正在上升。为了解决这些问题，UMN Chem。系采用的方法在很大程度上依赖于研究生的参与和学生的赋权。该贡献描述了一个学生团体（化学研究生院，CCGS）与该化学的研究生研究主任之间的合作结果。UMN校园卫生部门的部门和精神卫生专业人员，提供策略，以确保部门气氛宜人且富有成效。它描述了CCGS举办的活动，以帮助改善学生的心理健康，提高认识并激发有关该主题的公开讨论。作为早期的干预策略，UMN Chem。系修改了几项政策，以确保学生得到导师的频繁反馈。通过CCGS的合作，UMN Chem。系和UMN校园卫生服务部门开展了一项调查研究，评估心理健康和压力因素。调查的结果证明了与心理健康有关的污名，因为40％以上的研究生回答说他们不考虑咨询治疗师，辅导员，或医生，即使他们认为自己的健康受到生活压力的影响。结果还显示了一个开放和友好的环境对于那些在压力和心理健康方面挣扎的学生的重要性，因为他们最有可能与朋友而不是顾问，辅导员或医师打交道。
