Through this training, you will learn:
- How to describe and talk about mental health, openly and non-judgmentally.
- Approach, reassure, and support a fellow RIT community member when they are struggling with their mental health.
- Exploration of what self-care looks like for you and practical applications of self-care.
If you have any questions, or you need clarification on anything, please do not hesitate to email Beau Gibbs at bmghcw@rit.edu.
You will need to complete 15 minutes of pre-work BEFORE attending the training.
Thank you for your commitment to making RIT a more mentally well campus.
