HOiST – Helping Our Students Thrive

HOiST (Helping Our Students Thrive) is a series of workshops around creating a broader mental health support network for our students. Each session is led by a campus expert who will help facilitate a conversation around what campus resources are available and what appropriate levels of helping might look like for those working outside of that specialized area. Participants will leave with resources they can use in their own work with students

Upcoming Sessions

Sessions will be held virtually through Microsoft Teams sessions. Please register for the sessions using the links below.
