In collaboration with the New York Presbyterian Youth Anxiety Center, we are proud to present a clinically based webinar training series designed primarily for campus based mental health providers. This training will focus on evidence based practices, strategies, and supports for use with college-aged youth as they return to campus during the COVID-19 pandemic. The introductory session will launch on September 16, to broadly address the context and needs of campus mental health during COVID-19. There will be a 45-minute presentation with a 15-minute Q&A session. Topics addressed in this session include:

 

  • Anticipating and addressing the psychological needs of students.
  • Evidence-based strategies for young adults struggling with anxiety and mood symptoms.
  • Models and strategies to assess stress and meet the psychological needs of students on campus.
  • Strategies to promote long-term wellness on campus.
  • Supporting students' academic, social, self-care, and behavioral independence goals as they transition into adulthood.

 

Following the introductory session, there will be a series of small, 90-minute intensive TA workshops on specific topics. Separate registration is required for each of the workshops.
