Details

Across higher education today, students face significant mental health challenges impacting their academic success and overall wellbeing. Using photographic storytelling, this workshop will facilitate discussions related to students’ mental health needs and inclusive teaching approaches to foster mental wellbeing, empowerment, and accessibility in the learning environment.

This workshop will be facilitated by Jennifer McIntosh from Yale School of Nursing, who is one of our Faculty Fellows for the 2024-2025 academic year and will be focusing on the topic of accessibility. The Faculty Fellows Program is a yearlong opportunity for a small group of faculty from across disciplines to foster discussions of teaching, and learning and to promote equitable teaching practices. They will also inform the Center’s future priorities and offerings for faculty, departments, and schools.

We are committed to hosting inclusive and accessible events that allow all participants to fully engage. Please contact us at faculty.teaching@yale.edu to let us know of accommodations you need or dietary restrictions we should be aware of, or for questions about inclusion.

Food Provided (Afternoon snacks will be provided.)
