Frontier Nursing University Recognized for Excelling in Mental Health and Well-Being Offerings

Versailles, Ky., August 6, 2025 — Frontier Nursing University (FNU) has received the 2025 Excellence in Mental Health and Well-Being Award from Insight Into Academia magazine, the largest and oldest diversity and inclusion publication in higher education. The Excellence in Mental Health and Well-Being Award is a measure of an institution’s individual programs and initiatives that significantly advance the core values of inclusive excellence and belonging through programs, initiatives, and many other campus priorities deserving of this national recognition. 

  

FNU will be featured, along with 70 other recipients, in the September 2025 issue of Insight Into Academia magazine. 

 

“We are deeply honored to receive Insight Into Academia’s 2025 Excellence in Mental Health and Well-Being Award,” FNU President Dr. Brooke A. Flinders said. “Promoting psychological safety and holistic wellness is central to who we are as an institution. We prioritize the mental and physical health of our students, faculty, and staff, recognizing that well-being is essential to teaching, learning, and caregiving.” 

 

“Student success is fundamentally connected to well-being. When our community members feel supported mentally, emotionally, and physically, they are empowered to reach their full academic and personal potential," FNU Dean of Student Success Dr. Paula Alexander-Delpech said. “We recognize that learning happens best when individuals feel safe, valued, and equipped with the resources they need to thrive.” 

 

FNU offers a wide range of resources to its students, faculty, and staff, including mental health resources, dedicated counseling services, and wellness initiatives. Further, FNU’s Safe Space for Students initiative creates protected environments for authentic dialogue and emotional processing during challenging learning experiences. 

 

“We know that institutions are not always recognized for their dedication to their mental health and well-being services and support for their students and employees,” Lenore Pearlstein, owner and publisher of Insight Into Academia magazine, said. “We are proud to honor these colleges and universities as role models for other institutions of higher education.” 

  

A call for nominations for this award was announced in March 2025. For more information about the 2025 Excellence in Mental Health and Well-Being Award, visit insightintoacademia.com.
