Title: "Mental Health: reflections and brainstorming"
Following up on the Mental Health Report produced by the UMD Physics Mental Health Survey Task Force, we would like to spend our BANG! hour talking and reflecting on the current mental health support systems in our department and/or the university. We will start off by briefly summarizing the results from the survey, and then move onto reflections. Also, we plan to use this seminar to brainstorm some ideas regarding what we would like our department to do in the future to support the individuals that make up our department. We will spend some time talking about Astronomy’s involvement in the survey and how we would like to adjust it to better fit our needs.
Although the survey specifically targeted graduate students, everyone is welcome to attend, participate, and/or contribute to this BANG seminar, should you like to do so. We will break into smaller groups for guided reflection, discussion, and brainstorming on various topics mentioned above; and then move the discussion to the larger group.
As always, and in this discussion, we would like to encourage you to be respectful of BANG! space by following these guidelines (full URL: https://go.umd.edu/i8H).
