In this webinar, strategies for maintaining optimal mental health and preventing mental health problems during times of typical stress, such as graduate school, and times of extraordinary stress, such as a global pandemic, will be discussed. Coping strategies including progressive muscle relaxation, paced breathing, and accurate thinking will be described. The focus will then turn to identifying the types of student behaviors that may trigger a conversation about their well-being, followed by strategies for having effective conversations about mental health with students. Finally, resources for finding effective, evidence-based services will be reviewed.
