Canceled – Destigmatizing Mental Health in Higher Education

April 8, 2020 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm CDT

Join Equity & Inclusion Initiatives and NAMI Minnesota to have greater discussion around de-stigmatizing mental health in higher education.
How do we better understand and support students with mental health concerns, especially when those students identities and believes may not align with ours? How do we talk about mental health practices from an anti-racial lens – knowing that western practices can be re-traumatizing and triggering?
NAMI Minnesota champions justice, dignity and respect for all people affected by mental illnesses. Through education, support and advocacy we strive to eliminate the pervasive stigma of mental illnesses, affect positive changes in the mental health system, and increase the public and professional understanding of mental illnesses.
