Mental health issues can affect any college student during the school year.  VolAware, UT's mental health awareness program, is pairing up with the Knoxville chapter of the National Alliance of Mental Illness to educate UT students about mental health.

One way VolAware has helped spread the message of mental health awareness is through the VolAware Street Fair that was held in the UC Plaza on Tuesday, Oct. 7. 

Heather Napier is a freshman in nursing and was a volunteer at the fair.

"The different tables that were set up allowed the students to look at their own pace and see what it was all about," she said.

"It made them aware of help on campus and different aspects of mental health they may not have known about before."
