In this webinar, educators will learn how to: enhance their awareness through mindfulness practices, identify possibilities for enhanced wellbeing and create space to support change and boost resilience. Webinar Objectives: Learn three mindfulness practices. Identify infinite possibilities for wellness and potential barriers.

Mental Health Resources for College and University Faculty and Staff to Support Student Mental Health During COVID-19 In response to the recent pandemic (COVID-19), several national organizations and associations have shared and promoted resources to assist college faculty and staff in promoting mental health well-being during a pandemic. This product compiles all recent toolkits, guides, tip sheets, and infographics that have been developed by reputable sources to assist college and university faculty and staff. The Mountain Plains Mental Health Technology Transfer Centers also has a dedicated webpage to current mental health resources related to COVID-19. The page is organized by topic and includes resources for mental health providers, housing resources, products for educators, and resources for parents among others.

This session is designed to offer strategies to faculty to enable them to support their students during this challenging time.  Topics will include best practices in the current teaching environment, an overview of student responses to the pandemic and related stressors, and tips on how to support students from a distance.  We will also share ideas about self-care for faculty and offer opportunities for discussion. This session is facilitated by Ken Kinter, Dawn Reinhardt-Wood and Michelle Zechner - faculty members of the SHP Department of Psychiatric Rehabilitation and Counseling Professions.     Faculty Strategies for Supporting Students During COVID-19 Powerpoint Slides Faculty Strategies for Supporting Students During COVID-19 Transcript

The COVID19 pandemic has led to a second pandemic of stress, anxiety and fear. As public health workers, your work has a unique level of stress during this time. We are best able to maintain our mental health through these difficult times if we stay aware of the effects of stress, take steps to stay mentally healthy, and maintain connections with others. This webinar will offer information on awareness, self-care and connection with others so public health workers can develop a plan for maintaining their mental health. We will discuss common issues such as coping with fear, anxiety and loss; changing work demands; navigating family relationships; and coping with an uncertain future as the pandemic continues.

Educators and school mental health leadership are resilient, creative, and tenacious, but they need support to be able to provide support. In this period of stress and uncertainty, now is the time to gather and resource one another. In collaboration with the Meaning Makers Collective, we were pleased to offer three School Mental Health Wellness Wednesdays. Each Wellness Wednesday is a 60-minute virtual session for the school mental health workforce to connect, reflect, and support each other.
