Many college campuses are experiencing a mental health crisis. Mental health issues have a significant impact, regardless of size, location, or academic focus, and are only worsening. Across the country, 73% of university presidents say mental health is their most pressing issue because of its widespread and devastating effects (Deloitte).

Join speakers Dr. Ryan Patel, D.O, FAPA, Senior Staff Psychiatrist and Adjunct Clinical Professor, The Ohio State University and Joshua Covey, VP of Higher Education at FranklinCovey for a presentation discussing a wide range of strategies deployed from multiple levels to address this crisis. Examples include strategies that can be applied by university leadership, administration, faculty, staff, frontline college health professionals, department level, campus level, student body, campus community, parents, etc.
