Campus-wide Wellness Initiatives – On-Demand Training

Integrating Campus Wide Wellness Initiatives to Establish A Foundation For Students To Persist & Thrive

Increased mental health concerns at Institutions of Higher Education have required that they approach well-being in an integrated and holistic way to support student mental health. By fostering an integrated and holistic approach, academic and student affairs divisions can provide a variety of resources to allow students to build resilience, grit and ensure they thrive at your institution.  

The mental health and well-being of your campus community goes beyond the counseling center – requires a campus wide approach. Does your campus have the essential components of a broader holistic mental health approach in place? Is your campus prepared to engage those who are truly at risk, particularly when those who need it most are often reluctant to seek care?

Gather your colleagues and join our expert presenter on September 17, 2019 as he shares and reviews various innovative trends in mental health that address the many challenges and barriers students face that directly impact their retention and ability to graduate from your institution.  Address this critical need effectively and collaboratively through integrated and holistic strategies!
