As we are preparing for the new normal, we are looking to run meeting this semester ‘hybrid’… meaning we will have the meetings in person, but a Zoom link for access to those of you working at home on those dates, or not able to be physically there.
A special thank you to our friends at the Starr Career Development Center who have graciously offered us use of their conference room.
Thank you @Teresa Hurst for presenting to the group and providing insight on how we can support our students’ mental health.
I would encourage everyone who has not done the Kognito training to do so. Teresa included useful campus and local resources (Counseling Center services, CIT, crisis lines) for students, as well some resources to support staff.
Let’s work to reduce the stigma around mental health.
