First Five Weeks - Week 5: Mental Health Trends Toolbox

This session will provide a brief overview of how common mental health challenges might appear in your students (e.g. how an anxious or depressed student may present to you in the classroom). Participants will leave with an understanding of how the most common mental health trends may appear and specific tools for how to support those students for success.

Presenter: Thomas Peechatt, Mental Health Therapist, Counseling and Psychological Services

About the "First Five Weeks" Series
The challenges and stressors that impact faculty throughout a term are most often rooted in the First Five Weeks of a course. In this new series sponsored by the Center for Teaching and Learning, we will investigate some of the most common issues in our classrooms today. The series will be delivered in a unique format: 15 minute presentations followed by 30 minutes of discussion and questions. If you only attend the first 15 minutes, you will still walk away with immediately implementable strategies!
