Making the Connection: Developing a University Team Approach to Student Mental Health Care Faculty and staff at UPEI have a strong tradition of caring for the well-being and success of students at our institution. But, when a student experiences a level of distress that interferes with the classroom or their ability to perform, it can be challenging to know how to respond or where to turn. Vickie Johnston, Director of Student Affairs at UPEI and faculty member, will be joined by James Reddin and Heidi MacDonald from UPEI's Counselling Centre and Neisha Fisher and Dr. Heather Keizer from UPEI's Health Centre. The group will facilitate a discussion on how issues of confidentiality, stigma, and accommodation impact communication between faculty, staff, treatment providers, and university administrators.
