[Webinar Recording] Beyond Self-Care – Mental Health in Times of COVID
The COVID-19 pandemic placed enormous stress on all aspects of the educational system. Technological and human resources were required to adopt at lighting speed in order to maintain continuity of delivery. One aspect that was especially stressed and often overlooked was the mental health and well-being of all participants, administrators, faculty, and students alike.
This webinar explored the ramifications of coping with the sudden and dramatic pressures of remote and learning online. With the input of a mental health expert, sharing of appropriate resources, and the insights of a student, concrete recommendations for attending to and maintaining self- and group mental health was examined.
Speakers:
- Ray Schroeder, Senior Fellow, UPCEA and Professor Emeritus / Associate Vice Chancellor, University of Illinois Springfield
- Dr. Lawrence Ragan, CEO, Ragan Education LLC (formerly of Penn State University)
- Michelle Coleman, Dean of Students and Director of Student Affairs, Maryland University of Integrative Health
- Angel McLaughlin, Online student and President of the Active Minds, Penn State World Campus Chapter
