Presented in the UAB Center for Teaching and Learning for UAB faculty by Lynette Myers.

This introductory workshop will provide participants with basic information to help better understand and support mental health for our students and our campus. Workshop topics include information about the prevalence of mental health concerns and their impact on college students nationally as well as at UAB, recognizing students in distress, strategies for supporting students with mental health concerns, campus and community resources available for student support, setting boundaries and self-care, and strategies for promoting well-being in students.

Are you curious about the workshops offered by the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL)? This workshop is a part of our one day of exploration and engagement in five different workshops. By the end of the day, you will not only experience a diverse range of what the CTL has to offer but also complete five workshops, putting you over halfway towards earning a Gold Certificate.
