The Caring Campus Symposium for Faculty/Staff (Mental Health Awareness Week)

As a part of Mental Health Awareness Week (MHAW) 2025, the Mental Health Coalition is excited to offer a learning opportunity specifically geared toward faculty and staff! Faculty and staff at the University of Maryland, College Park, are invited to join us for a day of learning and community. We will run two simultaneous tracks of programs, one focused on supporting ourselves and our own mental health, and the other focused on supporting student mental health. Attendees can go back and forth based on interest or remain on the same track all day.
