All faculty and staff who want to keep building their repertoire of skills for working with students who are undergoing mental health challenges are invited to participate in a brownbag lunch conversation this Thursday, February 15, from noon to 1 p.m., in Buckley Center room 215. Two student leaders from Active Minds and their advisor, Sarina Saturn, psychological sciences, will share the club’s mission and walk participants through several real-life open-ended vignettes of encounters between students and faculty/staff that did not go especially well, and generate insights on how all of us can take advantage of campus and external resources to best meet the diverse needs of students working through mental health challenges. While the conversation will draw upon wisdom gleaned at last semester’s offering on the topic, newcomers will also benefit tremendously from the interactive conversation.
Questions may be directed to Karen Eifler, Garaventa Center, at eifler@up.edu).
