All graduate faculty, program leadership, program staff, ACGE and Graduate Council members are invited to attend a workshop titled “Working with Students in Distress: A Guide to Mental Health Resources on Campus,” hosted by the Graduate School, on Friday, October 25, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. in Foster Auditorium, Paterno Library.
Mental health issues with graduate students can present a serious impediment to their education. A recent study (Nature Biotechnology 36, 282-4, 2018) reported that approximately 40 percent of graduate students surveyed showed moderate to severe anxiety and/or depression. This workshop covers how to recognize signs of a mental health crisis, how to advise or approach students when concerns arise, and how to report concerns about students. Representatives from the Office of Student Care and Advocacy, Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), and Student Disability Resources will provide an overview of their services and will be available to answer your questions.
