PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: Winter Advisor Week – Mental Health First-Aid First Steps on 12/18!
Winter Advisor Week is coming up during the week of December 16th - in case you're not familiar, last year we started a mini-Advisor Week in the days after the semester ends before our break for holidays and reduced service days.
One of our featured events for this year's Winter Advisor Week is a preview to the 8-hour intensive Mental Health First-Aid training. In partnership with the Dean of Students, OAD is hosting UIC's Counseling Center for Mental Health First-Aid First Steps conversation as a way to preview some of the areas of training we will experience as part of U and I Care Week and Advisor Week this Spring 2020.
Join us for this event where there will be a presentation and discussion with our UIC Counseling Center Staff to go over areas related to student mental health including exploration of de-escalation techniques, warning signs, combating stigma & overall supporting a student of concern.
Date: Wednesday, December 18th
Location: 605 SCE Tower
Time: 10:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. (We'll be providing snacks.)
