In case you missed it, listen in as a panel of experts evaluate and advise on how higher ed institutions can best address the mental health needs of minority students — particularly as they grapple with a myriad of challenges including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and a nationwide flashpoint on systemic racism, punctuated by the recent guilty verdicts of the individuals charged with the murder of Ahmaud Arbery.   Panelists include: Nahed Barakat, Psy.D., Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Interim Training Director/Coordinator of Diversity & Inclusion Initiatives, University of Denver, Health & Counseling Center Nathaan Demers, Psy.D., Licensed Clinical Psychologist, VP of Clinical Programs & Strategic Partnerships Amy Gatto, Senior Manager of Higher Ed & Evaluation, Active Minds   KEY POINTS: - Where does the responsibility start and end for higher ed institutions when it comes to the mental health needs of students? - How investing in student mental health increases retention and persistence - What range of support should institutions aim to provide? - The unique challenges facing students today - How is mental illness manifested differently in minority students? - Ensuring appropriate responses to mental health crises - How to overcome cultural stigmas and barriers around mental health care   QUOTABLES: “We're talking and teaching people how to think, how to interact, how to support others, how to be global citizens, and maintaining mental health and well-being is essential in that mission." “We need to elevate well-being and mental health to being a topic that's just as important as your grades and getting a diploma.”   OTHER RESOURCES: Watch this as a webcast at: diverseeducation.com/webinar­s/webinar/15282037/meeting-the-mental-he­alth-needs-of-minority-college-students?utm_campaign=&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Eloqua Panel Proposes Ways to Meet the Mental Health Needs of Minority Students: diverseeducation.com/student­s/article/15286117/panel-proposes-ways-t­o-meet-the-mental-health-needs-of-minori­ty-students?utm_campaign=&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Eloqua   PRODUCTS / RESOURCES: Visit the Diverse: Issues In Higher Education website: diverseeducation.com Or follow us on social media: Twitter: twitter.com/diverseissues Instagram: instagram.com/diverseissuesinhighereducation Facebook: facebook.com/DiverseJobs?_rdc=1&_rdr Linkedin: linkedin.com/company/diverse-issues-in-higher-education In The Margins is produced by Diverse: Issues In Higher Education and edited by Instapodcasts (visit at instapodcasts.com)
