I don’t know what to do: Teaching wellbeing and mental health literacy in the university classroom

This workshop is open to all staff and faculty at the University of Toronto. Facilitator Laura Brown (Program Coordinator, Mindfulness, Meditation and Yoga, Division of Student Life) will explore the concept of mental health literacy, describe how students from her doctoral study enhanced their wellbeing, and brainstorm strategies for applying these insights within the classroom. Throughout the session, attendees will have the chance to engage in various contemplative practices, such as deep listening, witnessing, beholding, and reflective writing. The goal of this workshop is to empower staff and faculty to feel more confident in supporting both their students’ and their own mental health and well-being.
