College
Our Hope work is a whole campus approach to improving mental health for college students, faculty, and the community. It is a preventative and protective approach, we aim to get students help before they need it.
We so often wait until time of crisis to intervene, yet we know that is the worst time, as when we are in crisis we can’t access our problem solving skills for how to get the support we need. Moments of hopelessness increases when we go to college, as we go through so many changes. So it is no surprise we see a rise in anxiety and depression, as hopelessness is a key symptom. Our aim is to ensure all students know how to manage those moments, big or small, and get back to hope.
Our college activations include the following for hope:
- 10-module online video course and text lessons. We encourage you to either credit the course, or give students community service hours available individually or to license to entire campus.
- Guided coursebook with exercises and reflections.
- Facilitator Guide to run groups, in classes, in dorms, or other communities.
- Full on campus marketing campaign with CANVAS (or other LMS) page outline with suggested campus-specific resources to list on the program page.
- Keynote presentations for students.
- Training for faculty and administrators with measurement of hope real-time, and Hopeful Mindsets course license for additional training.
- Ideas for how to create a ‘culture of hope’ on campus.
- Student opportunities for practicums through Hopeful Cities activations in: government, science, education, art, awareness, or the workplace.
- Five Day Social media activation for International Day of Hope (May 1st).
- Moments of Hope cards to hand out.
