Aug. 23 – How to Help a Student: UBC Student Health & Wellness Services and Supports

This workshop will be held in person.

This event is part of the CTLT Summer Institute, taking place from August 22–26, 2022.

The health and wellbeing of our community is everyone’s responsibility, however, we know certain roles at UBC require more direct support of student health and wellbeing. Navigating one’s own health and the health care system can be challenging. This session will review the Green Folder, a tool to support staff, TAs and faculty in helping to notice specific signs that a student might require help, as well as identifying what resources might be most appropriate for referral.

The session will also provide a conversation framework to aid in the facilitation of conversations with students about their health and wellbeing.

Facilitators:

• Amanda Unruh, Health Promotion Specialist, UBC

Tuesday, August 23
