Supervisors want their students to succeed. Unfortunately, many supervisors have been submerged in the overworking culture of academia which dismisses mental health and wellness as a priority. Fortunately, graduate students can take meaningful steps to care for their own mental health and wellness by “managing upward”.
In this workshop by Christiane Whitehouse, PhD (@ch_whitehouse) and Dragonfly Mental Health, we’ll cover: the importance of advisor-trainee relationships, common issues, setting expectations & boundaries, establishing reasonable timelines, optimizing time, mutual accountability, and when communication fails.
There are many misconceptions about the psychiatric disease, what causes it, who is at risk, and how it manifests. In this talk, Dr. Wendy Ingram covers information about the prevalence of mental health illness in general and academic populations, an overview of signs and symptoms highlighting those seen in academic settings, and the science underlying the causes and treatments of mental illnesses.
Are you ready to improve mental health in your academic community? We would love to support you! Do you want to create a peer network but don’t know where to start?
During the virtual workshop, our panel will cover:
– What is a peer network?
– Why start a peer network? What will the mission be?
– How to find allies: Getting support from management and peers.
– Building the backbone: Design the structure, schedule meetings, and decide what activities you’ll do.
– Getting the word out: Plan communication and engagement in your community and/or beyond your institution.
Our experienced panel will discuss the challenges and successes in their efforts!
