Towards Holistic Well-Being: Raising Awareness, Addressing the Challenges and Building Resilience
Wednesday, January 24, 2024 | 12-1pm | Zoom Webinar (Registration Required)
Presented by Angie Farrehi, Director of Michigan Engineering’s C.A.R.E. Center
Mental health and well-being have become terms frequently referenced as important aspects of our lives. But what exactly does this mean, and how does it play a role in an academic environment? This lecture aims to help people understand well-being better and take a more complete approach to mental health.
We’ll review mental health challenges within the STEM fields, in addition to reviewing empirically-based strategies to build resilience. Participants will also have a chance to discuss ways to help foster our community’s well-being and create a foundation for a successful, innovative and thriving STEM community.
At Michigan Engineering, the job of creating a more diverse, equitable and inclusive community rests not within one organization or group of people, but with all of us. Our people-first framework builds upon Michigan’s greatest strengths and is a blueprint for how we aspire to teach and practice engineering – closing critical gaps, and elevating all people.
