Recovery, whether it is from substance abuse or a mental illness, or both requires a treatment plan, which in many cases is as effective as treatments for other chronic illnesses.
Imagine stepping onto a college campus where mental health is openly discussed and actively supported. In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods welcomes Andrea Bengtson, MA, MSW, Clinical Coordinator of Services at Boston University. Andrea shares her experiences and insights on how the Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation is transforming mental health awareness on campus. From innovative initiatives like pet therapy to National Depression Screening Day, Andrea dives into the various support systems available for students.
She also highlights the unique Photo Voice course, which empowers students to express their mental health journeys through photography and narratives. With a strengths-based approach, this episode emphasizes meeting students where they are and providing the tools they need for recovery. Whether you're a student, educator, or someone interested in mental health advocacy, this episode offers valuable perspectives on creating a supportive campus environment.
