Title:Teaching Students to Take Mental Health Seriously
The American College Health Association estimates that nearly 30% of college students will experience at least one major depressive episode while enrolled, while 64% of those struggling with a mental health condition will eventually drop out of college. Often, professors and graduate students are viewed as a trusted adviser by struggling students, but may not feel qualified or able to help. This seminar will provide guidelines and resources to providing much needed support to students in times of crises at Baylor.
