Mental Health Awareness

When searching for articles, type in terms into the search bar that will narrow down results to a specific topic but not be too narrowed down that there will not be any results. Example: mental health AND students. This will turn up results that have articles that address mental health among students. 

Search results can also be filtered to include full text articles available online, peer-reviewed, and even specifying to the date of when an article was published. 

To find articles about mental health, these are the top recommended databases.
