With Cynthia Ellison, Ph.D., LPC, ACS, LMHP, Executive Director, Trojan Health and Wellness. VSU is an HBCU and most of the strategies are translatable to university populations. Everyone will tweak and change but this is a template that is working and learn what she has found works and doesn’t work without your having to reinvent the wheel. We also want you all to share what has worked for you.

What does a successful Wellness Program at a university look like? Short answer: It’s not canceling classes. A wellness program is an ongoing effort to create a culture of wellness for a new generation of students. How do you get it funded? What activities do you have? How do you show up? How do you get leadership buy-in and involvement? How do you get students to show up? And how can you help faculty members in colleges on your campus understand what they need to do to support the effort? And finally, what activities have been successful?
AnneMoss will ask the questions and Dr. Ellison will answer. This will be a fascinating Q&A dive into a wellness program at Virginia State University, a program focused not on crisis but on preventing people from getting to crisis. Support for students and staff will be covered in the 1 hour. the last 15 minutes are reserved for your questions.
This will be recorded but only those who sign up will get the link to the recording.
I guarantee you will be taking notes. A download of a blueprint of what VSU has done will be provided.
