It's important that people know that recovery is possible. - Grace, a non-traditional aged @oursoutheastern grad, who will be working with homeless & addicted individuals in Baton Rouge.
*This*β is how we develop talent so that #LaProspers.
I absolutely have to recognize the outstanding work of @oursoutheastern to ensure that their commitment to Excellence and Caring also includes an intentional focus for students in recovery.
I'm certain the watery eyes + tangible passion in the room was a result of those actions.
Thank YOU β for trusting @oursoutheastern, the @ulsystem, @LA_Regents, the @LADeptHealth & countless other community resources to get this RIGHT for you -- to provide the necessary access, support, and care on your higher education journey.
We also had the opportunity to discuss the future of #CollegiateRecovery in Louisiana--- in both helping to assist existing programs *AND* to expand programming to NEW campuses.
Excellent @chronicle webinar "The Mental-Health Crisis on Campus" with Dr. Gary Glass, Ryan Houston-Dial, @DoreenSMarshall, Dr. Michael G. Mason & Dr. Kimberly Quinn - moderated by @AlexanderKafka.
I've *NEVER* seen this amount of questions consistently roll in during a webinar.
This (mental health crisis) has been going on for 10+ years.
We (staff) donβt care any less β and because of that, the burden *feels* even heavier when the narrative is that we canβt handle the demand. - Dr. Gary Glass
Weβve doubled, almost tripled, our staff since I got here β we are still understaffed. - Dr. Michael G. Mason
Doubling & tripling the *amount* of counselors is NOT the βgoldenβ solution. - Dr. Gary D. Glass
...in the words of Dr. Rackley (s/o to SUBR): hint, hint, clue, clue!
It's challenging to heal in a space where all of my identities are not recognized or valued. - Izzy #ARHE2020
Treatment isn't accessible for all. We're not present in recovery spaces but are over represented in the criminal justice system for drugs. - Maysa #ARHE2020
