Michigan’s New Approach to Mental Health and Wellbeing

June 28, 2023

In this week’s Quadcast, Anne Curzan, the Dean of the College of Literature, Science and the Arts (LSA) at the University of Michigan, and Joslyn Johnson, Assistant Dean at LSA, discuss a new initiative at Michigan’s largest school where mental health ambassadors work in curricular and co-curricular settings, doing research and making recommendations for environmental improvements for student mental health and wellbeing.  The Mental Health and Wellbeing Student Advocates are two new professional positions dedicated entirely to understanding and improving the institution’s impact on mental health and well-being and making systems-level changes in support of student wellness.  Curzan says, it is another (big) example of the wellness work taking place at the school, which recently joined the Okanagan Charter.
