Promoting Well-being in Learning Environments, Part 1

Learn how building collaborative relationships between faculty and students can improve student mental health. We will discuss research-based strategies that can support mental health within classrooms and other learning environments. You will leave this session with wellness techniques that can easily be incorporated into classrooms, discussion sections and other learning environments.

This virtual session is part of the Healthy Campus Summit Spring Series, sponsored by the Health Campus Initiative: B-Healthy. These sessions of March 28 and April 25 are designed for faculty and staff but the entire Binghamton University community is welcome to attend.
