Faculty and Staff Session: Building Bridges: Talking to Students about Mental Health issues—a  conversation with Doctor of Psychology Faculty and Staff This session is meant to engage UPEI faculty and staff in a conversation about how to address the mental health needs of students. The session will provide information about some of the more significant mental health problems that students tend to experience, such as feelings of anxiety and depression, and when these challenges become concerns that require greater attention. The session will also explore ways in which faculty and staff can engage students in discussion about their mental health struggles that are empowering and productive.  The relationship between faculty/staff and students of course matters, and, in itself, can serve as a positive factor to help students understand their struggles and get the help that they need.
