Mental Health Advocacy Workshop

Would you like to learn more about how to better show compassion and care to those who may be struggling emotionally? If so, this workshop is for you!

More Information:

Our students are experiencing increased rates of anxiety, depression, and other mental health related concerns, and the ongoing pandemic has only exacerbated these issues.

This 4-part, 8-hour introductory workshop provides faculty with 1) a greater awareness of the impact of mental health, including learning to recognize the signs and symptoms of when someone is in emotional distress/crisis or is suicidal; 2) an increase in self-confidence when providing support to someone in emotional distress/crisis; 3) an understanding of the signs and symptoms of secondary/vicarious trauma; 4) skills to set boundaries; and 5) an opportunity to develop a self-care plan of action.

This workshop takes place on 4 Fridays, May 3, May 10, May 17, and May 31, at 9:30-11:30 a.m. over Zoom.
