Beyond the Crisis Narrative: Redefining Mental Health Care for your Community College
In this webinar we’ll explore how shifting our paradigm of thinking and rhetoric towards a more rounded understanding of the mental health narrative can help address the unique challenges faced by community colleges. Led by psychologists, Drs. Ben Locke (Chief Clinical Officer at Togetherall) and Aarti Khullar (VP, Education Solutions at Protocall), both with extensive experience in collegiate mental health and behavioral health innovation.
Moving Beyond the Crisis Narrative at Community Colleges
Community colleges are key to fostering students’ emotional well-being, driving both academic and post-graduation success, but challenges to meet student’s mental health needs alongside budget limitations can place substantial pressure on institutions.
Further, the broader cultural emphasis on the crisis narrative surrounding collegiate mental health exacerbates these challenges, making it more difficult to strategically meet students’ emotional and academic needs.
In this webinar, we’ll gain a deeper understanding of how the crisis narrative has impacted our understanding of student mental health and offer a new framework and model to foster a supportive and sustainable culture of care at your community college.
