Especially students. With final exams and the fuss of the upcoming holiday season upon them &ndash; not to mention a global pandemic and the aftermath of a divisive election &ndash; more first-time mental health service-seekers are turning to the Talley Center. Zukor sees a positive side to the uptick in visitors. Young people are discovering the world of mental health, beginning to build coping strategies and dissolving the stigma around asking for help.<\/p><p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s OK to want support and seek feedback and guidance when we&rsquo;re not feeling well,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;There&rsquo;s nothing shameful about seeing someone to help navigate the world. That doesn&rsquo;t make us flawed; it makes us human.&rdquo;<\/p><figure id=\"attachment_91101\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-91101\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"91101\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/2020\/11\/10\/mental-health-is-top-of-mind-at-mary-washington\/191028_umw_3453\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/11\/191028_UMW_3453.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2500,1667\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta='{\"aperture\":\"0\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"0\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"0\",\"iso\":\"0\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"0\"}' data-image-title=\"191028_UMW_3453\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;A student poses on agiant rock in UMW&amp;#8217;s Zen garden before COVID-19.
