Addressing the growing mental health and well-being needs of students is an imperative for higher education, and the University of Michigan is taking action.
Last September, as part of a comprehensive plan to improve student well-being on campus, the University of Michigan adopted the Okanagan Charter and joined the United States Health Promoting Campuses Network.
Learn more about the charter and related campus recommendations that would transform how the university holistically addresses the issue, and how you can help students access the resources they need, at the February 3 Communicators' Forum, which will feature Mary Jo Desprez, Director of Wolverine Wellness; Laura Blake Jones, Dean of Students; and Amy Dittmar, Senior Vice Provost.
