In this episode we replay the December 7th Diverse Talk Live! webcast, "Meeting the Mental Health Needs of Minority College Students." In case you missed it, listen in as a panel of experts evaluate and advise on how higher ed institutions can best address the mental health needs of minority students — particularly as they grapple with a myriad of challenges including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and a nationwide flashpoint on systemic racism, punctuated by the recent guilty verdicts of the individuals charged with the murder of Ahmaud Arbery.
Panelists include:
Nahed Barakat, Psy.D., Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Interim Training Director/Coordinator of Diversity & Inclusion Initiatives, University of Denver, Health & Counseling Center
Nathaan Demers, Psy.D., Licensed Clinical Psychologist, VP of Clinical Programs & Strategic Partnerships
Amy Gatto, Senior Manager of Higher Ed & Evaluation, Active Minds
KEY POINTS:
QUOTABLES:
“We're talking and teaching people how to think, how to interact, how to support others, how to be global citizens, and maintaining mental health and well-being is essential in that mission."
“We need to elevate well-being and mental health to being a topic that's just as important as your grades and getting a diploma.”

Such a great approach on the different perspectives surrounding diversity and how it affects all communities! Enjoying each episode!
Such an amazing platform. So many milestones have been made and so many more to come.
I like that the episodes aren’t too long but are still very informative
This is an amazing podcast. I am glad you are stepping up and talking about a sensitive topic that is not talked about enough. Thank you for sharing this information. It effects students in higher education and the effects carry over into the workforce when the students graduate. Some students are tainted because there was not enough taught on diversity and the students perspective are skewed.
