Chicago, Illinois (PRWEB) March 24, 2022 The Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association and the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Foundation (PRA/F) have partnered
BU invites students, faculty, and staff to participate in National Depression Screening Day, a free, confidential screening that can identify those experiencing depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and other mental health issues.
Last week the center, with support from the Ruderman Family Foundation, a Jewish nonprofit organization in Boston that advocates for the inclusion of people with disabilities, released two guides one for students and their families and one for administrators, faculty and staff members about best practices for leaves of absence from college. The guides attempt to fill a knowledge gap among students about their options when considering a leave and how to get college officials “on the same page” about how to support students and reduce the stigma around taking leave, including policies that could penalize students with mental health conditions, said Hutchinson, who is a contributing author of the guides.
