In case you didn't receive information about the upcoming webinar through communication from the Canadian Association of College and University Student Services (CACUSS), and as a reminder for those who did, see details below!
About the Webinar
The Post-Secondary Student Mental Health: Guide to a Systemic Approach has been launched and there is innovative work happening across Canada on post-secondary campuses to support student mental health. This webinar will engage the national community to hear about the promising practices that have emerged on your campus and share the buzz from three examples in British Columbia, Manitoba and Ontario. Following a facilitated discussion with the guest speakers outlined below, Jonny Morris will further our conversations about the activities on your campuses and consult with you as community partners in this important work about your ideas for continued discussions. A hint about the CACUSS pre-conference plans might also be revealed.
Guest Speakers
Shaylyn Streatch, Coordinator, Healthy Minds/Healthy Campuses, Canadian Mental Health Association British Columbia Division, will briefly share:
- how CMHA BC has applied the Guide as the coordinating agency for Healthy Minds/Healthy Campuses (a provincial community of practice to promote campus mental health and reduce risky substance use).
Stephanie Loewen, Policy Analyst with the Mental Health and Spiritual Health Care Branch at Manitoba Health, Healthy Living and Seniors (and former Mental Health Consultant) along with Don Stewart, Executive Director, Student Support, Student Affairs at University of Manitoba, will briefly share:
- ways in which University of Manitoba secured engagement of faculty, staff and students; methods used to scan and assess the strengths and growth areas of the campus environment; how the information gleaned manifested into a campus mental health strategy; and the plan for launching and implementing the soon-to-be-released strategy.
Tayyab Rashid, Psychologist, Health & Wellness Centre, University of Toronto Scarborough Campus, will briefly share:
- key features and preliminary results of a collaborative research project Flourish which is based on Corey Keyes approach to understanding mental health. The overarching goal of this early detection and strengths-based project is to increase retention and well-being among languishing students (including a sub-group of Green Path students from China) who are considered at greater risk of dropping out.
