I don’t know what to do: Teaching wellbeing and mental health literacy in the university classroom

TEACHING AND LEARNING SYMPOSIUM: SPECIAL PRESENTATION 

Facilitator: Lauren Brown, Program Coordinator, Mindfulness, Meditation and Yoga, Multi-Faith Centre, Division of Student Life

In this workshop participants will learn what mental health literacy involves, hear how students from my doctoral research improved their wellbeing, and develop ideas on what you can do in your own classrooms. Along the way you'll have the opportunity to try a variety of contemplative practices including deep listening, bearing witness, beholding, and reflective writing. The aim of this workshop is to help you feel more confident acting in support of your students’ and your own mental health and wellbeing.
