Mental wellness has been central to talking about student health and success. SSP has focused on building a safe space and providing both referrals and discussions via partner organizations. We hosted a session for upperclassmen this fall with Kai Roberts, a professional mental health speaker from Active Minds.
In his high energy "Active Mic: Mental Health Through Music" presentation, Kai told the story of his battle with panic attacks and Generalized Anxiety Disorder through interactive dialogue and hip-hop music. Students heard his story through original music, covering the origins of his anxiety, his emotional journey, and his disorder and recovery.
Students engaged in the session and left the presentation feeling like they're not alone in their journey of mental wellness.
