Hi Everyone, 

A colleague (Dr. Amanda Almond) passed the following resource along to me: 

https://www.activeminds.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Supporting-the-Whole-Student.pdf

This is a guide for colleges to use when thinking about how to support “whole students” during their first year or so of college. It comes from an organization that focuses on the role of mental health in helping students achieve during their time in college. 

The organization also has events and virtual speakers, and I think we could potentially host one at our campus. You can see some of their featured speakers here:

I understand that we may have some funds available for supporting student mental health through the CARES Act. Is anyone else interested in seeing if the Student Ready Committee could help sponsor and organize one of these events? 

Thanks!

Rob
