Girls Rising Series: Weaving Wellness: Connecting Mental Health Resources, Community, and Self to Address the Mental Health Struggles of Native and Indigenous Girls and Young Women

Join us for a discussion of proactive strategies that promote belonging and prioritize the mental health of students of color in the post-affirmative action landscape. Explore how student organizations, sororities, fraternities, and communities of faith can serve as protective factors in preventing isolation, enhancing positive student experiences, and fostering a shared identity.

Students of color who are also parents face a unique set of challenges and stressors that often go unaddressed, creating significant barriers to graduation. Session one of this two-part series aims to improve the understanding of the complexities facing parenting students of color so that faculty and staff can better address their mental health needs and support their path to graduation.
