Program Abstract:
Learn how a multidisciplinary, cross-division team worked together to execute an innovative approach to address the mental health crisis among college students. Representative members of the team (administrator, counseling center director, faculty, student) will share how the team developed, as well as the successes, lessons learned, and future directions of a curriculum designed to increase student mental health awareness and coping. Components of the curriculum, along with the process of modification and implementation, will be presented, including an interactive portion that will bring the experience of the curriculum to life.
