THE COMMUNITY PARTNER EXPERIENCE
By incorporating the Road to Wellness framework and input from the
community partner experience, we are in the process of developing a series of
resources that are intended to promote a common understanding of student
wellness and promote some effective strategies in the context of student
placement. We have taken tremendous care to engage our community partners
and will first share some of the findings from our discussions with them.
Focus groups were administered to explore the perspectives of community
partners and college employees, intended to gather information regarding the
underlying reasons for their beliefs about student mental health and determine a
direction for the development of supports and resources. Great care was taken in
the focus groups to operationalize mental health and the various terms that were
used.
Immediately below is our first video for community partners, which is
intended to expand their understanding of student mental health and wellbeing.
Further resource development will continue throughout the Winter of 2019.
