HOiST Fall 2022 - Helping Students Thrive

HOiST (Helping Our Students Thrive) is a series of workshops around creating a broader mental health support network for our students. Each session is led by a campus expert who will help facilitate a conversation around what campus resources are available and what appropriate levels of helping might look like for those working outside of that specialized area.
