In this episode, we welcomed Courtney Joly-Lowdermilk ([email protected]), the program director of NITEO (a Latin word meaning “to thrive.”) at the Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation (CPR) at Boston University. She shared how CPR helps students and beyond with mental health and her experience in disability services in higher education.
About NITEO:
NITEO is an intensive, one-semester program supporting young adults who live with a mental health condition to develop wellness tools, academic skills, resilience, and work-readiness.

The NITEO curriculum provides students with opportunities to:

Practice and develop wellness and resiliency skills to help them live well at school and work.
