Description

The current unrest exhibited on college and university campuses across the U.S. has largely been driven by politically provocative higher education policies. Predictably, the sociopolitical stress experienced by college students is wide-ranging and uniquely felt and has particularly daunting implications for their mental health. Bringing together a multidisciplinary team of professionals in law and mental health, this training will provide a range of professionals in higher education and beyond with the necessary awareness, knowledge, and skills to support college student communities as they navigate a politically stressful environment.
