Meeting Information
Stressed Students and Fatigued Faculty - How We Can Help
Guests:
Dr. Christina Will, Dean of Learning Resources at St. Johns River State College
Royce Bass, Campus Librarian at St. Johns River State College
Dr. Doug Lobo, CARE Counselor at St. Johns River State College
2020 was tough on most of us and made the importance of tending to mental health and wellness evident. Working in higher education, we've all seen the difficulties many students and coworkers are facing and, now more than ever, people are sharing their struggles with us - but many of us aren't sure how to help. The Library's faculty and staff found themselves asking "how can I help?" more than ever in 2020. After reaching out to Dr. Lobo, the SJR State Library collected resources and implemented new protocols to help students in distress and began devising ways to give everyone the tools they need not just to survive this thing called life but to thrive. Join us to learn about the scope and impact of the issue at colleges nationwide, discuss what you’ve experienced, and discuss resources you’re using to help.
