In this episode, we replay part two of the Diverse Talk Live! webcast, "Meeting the Mental Health Needs of Minority College Students." In case you missed it, tune in as the panel of experts return to look at campus climate policies after the surge of Omicron and how they relate to the mental health and health-seeking behaviors in minoritized students. Listen in as they propose supplemental resources for faculty who are on the front line and discuss what we can do at the campus and institutional level to better support student mental health and connect students to services who are disproportionately under-utilizing formal treatment avenues. 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, YOU at College Amy Gatto, Senior Manager of Higher Ed & Evaluation, Active Minds Sasha Zhou, PhD., Assistant Professor, Department of Public Health, Wayne State University   KEY POINTS: - What is the Healthy Minds Network? - The unique challenges of minoritized students in higher education - How to empower and encourage minoritized students to seek help - The impact of Omicron on student, faculty, and administrator health - Shifting departmental culture around mental health  - Racial trauma versus post-traumatic stress disorder - Expanding the pipeline of diverse clinicians and clear resource availability - Why there is no one-size-fits-all solution   QUOTABLES: “The common thread there is a lot of times students who are minoritized do not feel like a lot of interventions on campus are specifically made for them.” “We are hurting people, helping hurting people.” “Shifting this culture from being overwhelmed with work to talking about work-life balance and trying to bring in mental health into departmental culture is important. [We should be] finding ways to humanize mental health challenges.”   OTHER RESOURCES: Watch this webcast at: youtube.com/watch?v=dTeyX2fuzNQ   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)
