Program Abstract:
A new psychoeducational universal prevention resilience program designed to complement existing mental health services at Florida State University will be discussed. The new online program is designed to strengthen student coping skills, inform students about trauma, and increase students’ connections. The program uses an applied science approach from empirical information and data in a manner responsive to trauma, media usage of Generation Z and young millennials, and the realities of campus environmental stressors.
