SUMMARY:Workshop: Feel Better\, Teach Better:  Strategies for Supporting Faculty Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:Register here | Facilitator: Rachel Yoho\nTeaching is difficult and often an isolating experience.  There are many mental health issues in academia\, particularly related to the situation and the work.  Yet\, only student mental health is well studied and discussed.  In this workshop\, we explore faculty mental health\, strategies for improving the environment\, and address barriers to addressing concerns.  Please note that this is not a self-help or “yoga your way out of stress” workshop and does have discussions of mental health issues and self-harm.  While university resources are shared\, this is an academic and professional development workshop\, not medical or mental health advice.  Join us to create community and talk about one of the most prevalent\, but under-discussed\, issues in academia! \n*Adding to your calendar will not register you for the event; please register using the link above.
