Abstract

This administrative supplement proposal will allow us to add an important new mental health and resiliency initiative that will serve our MARC and IMSD undergraduate students as well as any undergraduates planning to obtain an advanced degree and our current graduate students. Our initiative, which will be fully integrated into our MARC/IMSD curriculum, seeks to equip students with mental health resources produced in part by current SDSU graduate students to destigmatize the need for mental health support. Students will attend workshops by experts on the specific mental health challenges of graduate students and on tools for resiliency, and by former MARC and IMSD students who have completed their graduate work. Survey data from MARC, IMSD, and current graduate students will guide the generation of short videos on mental health and resiliency created by and starring SDSU graduate students under the careful direction of SDSU campus leaders in the areas of Clinical Psychology, Counseling and Psychological Services, and Student Success/Advancement.
